Revisiting probabilistic models for clustering with pair-wise constraints
We revisit recently proposed algorithms for probabilistic clustering with pair-wise constraints between data points. We evaluate and compare existing techniques in terms of robust...

Mixtures of hierarchical topics with Pachinko allocation
The four-level pachinko allocation model (PAM) (Li & McCallum, 2006) represents correlations among topics using a DAG structure. It does not, however, represent a nested hiera...

A novel orthogonal NMF-based belief compression for POMDPs
High dimensionality of POMDP's belief state space is one major cause that makes the underlying optimal policy computation intractable. Belief compression refers to the method...

Scalable modeling of real graphs using Kronecker multiplication
Given a large, real graph, how can we generate a synthetic graph that matches its properties, i.e., it has similar degree distribution, similar (small) diameter, similar spectrum,...
