A formula in first-order logic can be viewed as a tree, with a logical connective at each node, and a knowledge base can be viewed as a tree whose root is a conjunction. Markov l...
— Metaheuristics such as Estimation of Distribution Algorithms and the Cross-Entropy method use probabilistic modelling and inference to generate candidate solutions in optimizat...

Variational inference methods, including mean field methods and loopy belief propagation, have been widely used for approximate probabilistic inference in graphical models. While ...
Abstract—A probabilistic kernel approach to pairwise preference learning based on Gaussian processes is applied to predict preference judgments for sound quality degradation mech...

In this paper, we propose a probabilistic model for web image mining, which is based on concept-sensitive salient regions without human intervene. Our goal is to achieve a middle-...
