General-purpose ontologies (e.g. WordNet) are convenient, but they are not always scientifically valid. We draw on techniques from semantic class learning to improve the scientific...
Abstract. Distribution of object colors has been used in computer vision for recognition and indexing. Most of the recent approaches to this problem have been focused on de ning op...
We consider the problem of learning Gaussian multiresolution (MR) models in which data are only available at the finest scale and the coarser, hidden variables serve both to captu...

Abstract. Motivated by the analogies to statistical physics, the deterministic annealing (DA) method has successfully been demonstrated in a variety of application. In this paper, ...
R is a numerical computing environment that is widely popular for statistical data analysis. Like many such environments, R performs poorly for large datasets whose sizes exceed t...
