Recent research has demonstrated the strong performance of hidden Markov models applied to information extraction--the task of populating database slots with corresponding phrases...
— Optimal control and estimation are dual in the LQG setting, as Kalman discovered, however this duality has proven difficult to extend beyond LQG. Here we obtain a more natural...
Stochastic optimization algorithms typically use learning rate schedules that behave asymptotically as (t) = 0=t. The ensemble dynamics (Leen and Moody, 1993) for such algorithms ...
— A learning machine is called singular if its Fisher information matrix is singular. Almost all learning machines used in information processing are singular, for example, layer...
Abstract. We study the problem of maximizing the amount of stochastic diffusion in a network by acquiring nodes within a certain limited budget. We use a Sample Average Approximati...
