Sufficient covariates and linear propensity analysis
Working within the decision-theoretic framework for causal inference, we study the properties of "sufficient covariates", which support causal inference from observation...

Inference and Learning in Networks of Queues
Probabilistic models of the performance of computer systems are useful both for predicting system performance in new conditions, and for diagnosing past performance problems. The ...

Collaborative Filtering on a Budget
Matrix factorization is a successful technique for building collaborative filtering systems. While it works well on a large range of problems, it is also known for requiring signi...

On the Convergence Properties of Contrastive Divergence
Contrastive Divergence (CD) is a popular method for estimating the parameters of Markov Random Fields (MRFs) by rapidly approximating an intractable term in the gradient of the lo...

Noise-contrastive estimation: A new estimation principle for unnormalized statistical models
We present a new estimation principle for parameterized statistical models. The idea is to perform nonlinear logistic regression to discriminate between the observed data and some...

Why are DBNs sparse?
Real stochastic processes operating in continuous time can be modeled by sets of stochastic differential equations. On the other hand, several popular model families, including hi...
