When aligning biological sequences, the choice of scoring scheme is critical. Even small changes in gap penalties, for example, can yield radically different alignments. A rigorous...
There is a debate regarding whether motor memory is stored in the cerebellar cortex, or the cerebellar nuclei, or both. Memory may be acquired in the cortex and then be transferred...
Recently, a number of researchers have proposed spectral algorithms for learning models of dynamical systems—for example, Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), Partially Observable Marko...
Appearance information is essential for applications such as tracking and people recognition. One of the main problems of using appearance-based discriminative models is the ambig...
We present learning and inference algorithms for a versatile class of partially observed vector autoregressive (VAR) models for multivariate time-series data. VAR models can captu...
