The ratio of two probability densities can be used for solving various machine learning tasks such as covariate shift adaptation (importance sampling), outlier detection (likeliho...
We present a strategy for analyzing large, social small-world graphs, such as those formed by human networks. Our approach brings together ideas from a number of different resear...
We propose a nonparametric extension to the factor analysis problem using a beta process prior. This beta process factor analysis (BPFA) model allows for a dataset to be decompose...
We address the problem of detecting batches of emails that have been created according to the same template. This problem is motivated by the desire to filter spam more effectivel...
Structural alignments are the most widely used tools for comparing proteins with low sequence similarity. The main contribution of this paper is to derive various kernels on prote...
