Variational Inference for Grammar Induction with Prior Knowledge
Variational EM has become a popular technique in probabilistic NLP with hidden variables. Commonly, for computational tractability, we make strong independence assumptions, such a...

Variational Bayesian Approach for Interval Estimation of NHPP-Based Software Reliability Models
In this paper, we present a variational Bayesian (VB) approach to computing the interval estimates for nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) software reliability models. This appr...

Consistent Segmentation for Optical Flow Estimation
In this paper, we propose a method for jointly computing optical flow and segmenting video while accounting for mixed pixels (matting). Our method is based on statistical modelin...

Fast Decentralized Averaging via Multi-scale Gossip
Abstract. We are interested in the problem of computing the average consensus in a distributed fashion on random geometric graphs. We describe a new algorithm called Multi-scale Go...

Information Theory - The Bridge Connecting Bounded Rational Game Theory and Statistical Physics
A long-running difficulty with conventional game theory has been how to modify it to accommodate the bounded rationality of all real-world players. A recurring issue in statistica...
