Maximum entropy (Maxent) is useful in natural language processing and many other areas. Iterative scaling (IS) methods are one of the most popular approaches to solve Maxent. With...
An important problem in biological data analysis is to predict the family of a newly discovered sequence like a protein or DNA sequence, using the collection of available sequence...
We consider the problem of fitting a large-scale covariance matrix to multivariate Gaussian data in such a way that the inverse is sparse, thus providing model selection. Beginnin...

Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) are often estimated using an entropy based criterion in combination with Generalized Iterative Scaling (GIS). GIS offers, upon others, the immedi...
Abstract—Coping with outliers contaminating dynamical processes is of major importance in various applications because mismatches from nominal models are not uncommon in practice...
