Exponentiated gradient algorithms for log-linear structured prediction
Conditional log-linear models are a commonly used method for structured prediction. Efficient learning of parameters in these models is therefore an important problem. This paper ...

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

Sparse Inverse Covariance Selection via Alternating Linearization Methods
Gaussian graphical models are of great interest in statistical learning. Because the conditional independencies between different nodes correspond to zero entries in the inverse c...

Conditional Topic Random Fields
Generative topic models such as LDA are limited by their inability to utilize nontrivial input features to enhance their performance, and many topic models assume that topic assig...

Exploiting Data-Independence for Fast Belief-Propagation
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in graphical models requires that we maximize the sum of two terms: a data-dependent term, encoding the conditional likelihood of a certain la...
