Many NLP tasks rely on accurately estimating word dependency probabilities P(w1|w2), where the words w1 and w2 have a particular relationship (such as verb-object). Because of the...

We describe and analyze an online algorithm for supervised learning of pseudo-metrics. The algorithm receives pairs of instances and predicts their similarity according to a pseud...
The problem of computing low rank approximations of matrices is considered. The novel aspect of our approach is that the low rank approximations are on a collection of matrices. W...
Many difficult visual perception problems, like 3D human motion estimation, can be formulated in terms of inference using complex generative models, defined over high-dimensional ...
