Approximating the top-m passages in a parallel question answering system
We examine the problem of retrieving the top-m ranked items from a large collection, randomly distributed across an n-node system. In order to retrieve the top m overall, we must ...

Variational Bayes Estimation of Mixing Coefficients
We investigate theoretically some properties of variational Bayes approximations based on estimating the mixing coefficients of known densities. We show that, with probability 1 a...

Laplace Propagation
We present a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian models and regularized risk functionals. It is based on the propagation of mean and variance derived from the Lapla...

Study of an ergodicity pitfall in multitrajectory simulation
Multitrajectory Simulation allows random events in a simulation to generate multiple trajectories. Management techniques have been developed to manage the choices of trajectories ...

New decoding algorithms for Hidden Markov Models using distance measures on labellings
Background: Existing hidden Markov model decoding algorithms do not focus on approximately identifying the sequence feature boundaries. Results: We give a set of algorithms to com...
