Background: As one of the most widely used parsimony methods for ancestral reconstruction, the Fitch method minimizes the total number of hypothetical substitutions along all bran...

Many perception, reasoning, and learning problems can be expressed as Bayesian inference. We point out that formulating a problem as Bayesian inference implies specifying a probabi...
Round-based games are an instance of discrete planning problems. Some of the best contemporary game tree search algorithms use random roll-outs as data. Relying on a good policy, ...
Bayesian networks (BNs) are used to represent and ef ciently compute with multi-variate probability distributions in a wide range of disciplines. One of the main approaches to per...
We focus on the estimation of a probability distribution over a set of trees. We consider here the class of distributions computed by weighted automata - a strict generalization of...
