The general approach for automatically driving data collection using information from previously acquired data is called active learning. Traditional active learning addresses the...
We present a variational Bayesian framework for performing inference, density estimation and model selection in a special class of graphical models--Hidden Markov Random Fields (H...

Semi-supervised clustering algorithms aim to improve clustering results using limited supervision. The supervision is generally given as pairwise constraints; such constraints are...

Protein fold recognition is a key step towards inferring the tertiary structures from amino-acid sequences. Complex folds such as those consisting of interacting structural repeat...
We consider the problem of unsupervised learning from a matrix of data vectors where in each row the observed values are randomly permuted in an unknown fashion. Such problems ari...
