Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...
We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of curves. Traditional curve evolution methods use gradient descent to find a local minimum...

The phenomenon of sponsored search advertising is gaining ground as the largest source of revenues for search engines. Firms across different industries have are beginning to adop...
Stochastic relational models (SRMs) [15] provide a rich family of choices for learning and predicting dyadic data between two sets of entities. The models generalize matrix factor...
This paper describes nonparametric Bayesian treatments for analyzing records containing occurrences of items. The introduced model retains the strength of previous approaches that...
