We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...

Software systems embed in them knowledge about the domain in which they operate. However, this knowledge is “latent”. Making such knowledge accessible could be of great value ...
We propose a novel, computationally efficient generative topographic model for inferring low dimensional representations of high dimensional data sets, designed to exploit data s...
With aggressive gate oxide scaling, latent defects in the gate oxide manifest as traps that, in time, lead to gate oxide breakdown. Progressive gate oxide breakdown, also referred...
Salmonella is among the most common food borne illnesses which may result from consumption of contaminated products. In this paper we model the co-occurrence data between USDA-cont...
