Continuously-Adaptive Discretization for Message-Passing (CAD-MP) is a new message-passing algorithm for approximate inference. Most message-passing algorithms approximate continu...
We address the problem of computing approximate marginals in Gaussian probabilistic models by using mean field and fractional Bethe approximations. As an extension of Welling and ...
This paper introduces PigWorld, a tool for teaching Java to novice programmers, via the objects-early style. Three design guidelines forobject-early assignments are discussed: (1)...
This paper presents a new functional parallel language: Minimally Synchronous Parallel ML. The execution time can then be estimated and dead-locks and indeterminism are avoided. I...
An agent-based modeling of virtual ecosystems is presented. A virtual ecosystem develops by plant competition according to biologically inspired rules and tends to reach stability...
