Abstract—It is well known that for finite-sized networks, onestep retrieval in the autoassociative Willshaw net is a suboptimal way to extract the information stored in the syna...
Local computation in join trees or acyclic hypertrees has been shown to be linked to a particular algebraic structure, called valuation algebra. There are many models of this alge...
Background: Chow and Liu showed that the maximum likelihood tree for multivariate discrete distributions may be found using a maximum weight spanning tree algorithm, for example K...
