Exploiting Causal Independence in Large Bayesian Networks
The assessment of a probability distribution associated with a Bayesian network is a challenging task, even if its topology is sparse. Special probability distributions based on t...

On Learning Random DNF Formulas Under the Uniform Distribution
Abstract: We study the average-case learnability of DNF formulas in the model of learning from uniformly distributed random examples. We define a natural model of random monotone ...

Rare-event simulation for a multidimensional random walk with t distributed increments
We consider the problem of efficient estimation of first passage time probabilities for a multidimensional random walk with t distributed increments, via simulation. In addition...
