This paper proposes an approach to classification of adjacent segments of a time series as being either of classes. We use a hierarchical model that consists of a feature extract...
A new, general approach is described for approximate inference in first-order probabilistic languages, using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques in the space of concrete po...
We prove an upper bound on the convergence rate of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for the important special case when the state space can be aggregated into a smaller ...
This paper describes a technique for the probabilistic self-localization of a sensor network based on noisy inter-sensor range data. Our method is based on a number of parallel in...
Intelligent agents must be able to handle the complexity and uncertainty of the real world. Logical AI has focused mainly on the former, and statistical AI on the latter. Markov l...

This paper presents two Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for Bayesian inference of probabilistic context free grammars (PCFGs) from terminal strings, providing an altern...

Abstract. We present a method to perform model selection based on predictive density in a class of spatio-temporal dynamic generalized linear models for areal data. These models as...
Abstract. Many efforts have been involved in association study of quantitative phenotypes and expressed genes. The key issue is how to efficiently identify phenotype-associated gen...
Tracking body poses of multiple persons in monocular video is a challenging problem due to the high dimensionality of the state space and issues such as inter-occlusion of the pers...
Many social networks can be characterized by a sequence of dyadic interactions between individuals. Techniques for analyzing such events are of increasing interest. In this paper,...
