The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular algorithm for parameter estimation in models with hidden variables. However, the algorithm has several non-trivial limitat...
One approach to modeling structured discrete data is to describe the probability of states via an energy function and Gibbs distribution. A recurring difficulty in these models is...

Standard compressive sensing results state that to exactly recover an s sparse signal in Rp , one requires O(s · log p) measurements. While this bound is extremely useful in prac...
