Accurate and efficient inference in evolutionary trees is a central problem in computational biology. While classical treatments have made unrealistic site independence assumption...
Language comprehension in humans is significantly constrained by memory, yet rapid, highly incremental, and capable of utilizing a wide range of contextual information to resolve ...

Probabilistic topic models have become popular as methods for dimensionality reduction in collections of text documents or images. These models are usually treated as generative m...
Abstract: Structure learning of dynamic Bayesian networks provide a principled mechanism for identifying conditional dependencies in time-series data. This learning procedure assum...
We present a characterization of a useful class of skills based on a graphical representation of an agent's interaction with its environment. Our characterization uses betwee...
We develop a statistical framework for the simultaneous, unsupervised segmentation and discovery of visual object categories from image databases. Examining a large set of manuall...
We consider the problem of binary classification where the classifier may abstain instead of classifying each observation. The Bayes decision rule for this setup, known as Chow...
