Loopy belief propagation for approximate inference: An empirical study. In:
- Proceedings of Uncertainty in AI,
, 1999
"... Abstract Recently, researchers have demonstrated that "loopy belief propagation" -the use of Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops -can perform well in the context of error-correcting codes. The most dramatic instance of this is the near Shannon-limit performanc ..."

;belief revision") version, Weiss For the case of networks with multiple loops, Richard son To summarize, what is currently known about loopy propagation is that ( 1) it works very well in an error correcting code setting and (2) there are conditions for a single-loop network for which it can be guaranteed

Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

1On the Identifiability of Overcomplete Dictionaries via the Minimisation Principle Underlying K-SVD
, 2013
"... This article gives theoretical insights into the performance of K-SVD, a dictionary learning algorithm that has gained significant popularity in practical applications. The particular question studied here is when a dictionary Φ ∈ Rd×K can be recovered as local minimum of the minimisation criterion ..."

Abstract This paper outlines an efficient approach to introducing the finite element method to undergraduate mechanical engineering students. This approach requires that the students have prior experience with MATLAB and a fundamental understanding of solid mechanics. Only two-dimensional beam element problems are considered, to simplify the development. The approach emphasizes an orderly solution procedure and involves important finite element concepts, such as the stiffness matrix, element and global coordinates, force equilibrium, and constraints. Two important and challenging engineering problems – a statically indeterminate beam structure and a stepped shaft – are analyzed with the systematic solution procedure and a MATLAB program. The ability of MATLAB to manipulate matrices and solve matrix equations makes the computer solution concise and easy to follow. The flexibility associated with the computer implementation allows example problems to be easily modified into design projects.
