Numerous temporal inference tasks such as fault monitoring and anomaly detection exhibit a persistence property: for example, if something breaks, it stays broken until an interve...
Previous research suggests that children can infer causal relations from patterns of events. However, what appear to be cases of causal inference may simply reduce to children rec...

We compare two approaches to Bayesian network inference, called variable elimination (VE) and arc reversal (AR). It is established that VE never requires more space than AR, and n...

We describe a nonparametric Bayesian approach to generalizing from few labeled examples, guided by a larger set of unlabeled objects and the assumption of a latent tree-structure ...

This paper concerns the experimental assessment of tempering as a technique for improving Bayesian inference for C&RT models. Full Bayesian inference requires the computation ...
