Towards Industrial-Like Random SAT Instances

by Carlos Ansótegui, Maria Luisa Bonet, Jordi Levy , 2009
"... We focus on the random generation of SAT instances that have computational properties that are similar to real-world instances. It is known that industrial instances, even with a great number of variables, can be solved by a clever solver in a reasonable amount of time. This is not possible, in gene ..."

Semi-Supervised Learning Using Gaussian Fields and Harmonic Functions

by Xiaojin Zhu , Zoubin Ghahramani, John Lafferty - IN ICML , 2003
"... An approach to semi-supervised learning is proposed that is based on a Gaussian random field model. Labeled and unlabeled data are represented as vertices in a weighted graph, with edge weights encoding the similarity between instances. The learning ..."

Support Vector Machine Active Learning with Applications to Text Classification

by Simon Tong , Daphne Koller - JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH , 2001
"... Support vector machines have met with significant success in numerous real-world learning tasks. However, like most machine learning algorithms, they are generally applied using a randomly selected training set classified in advance. In many settings, we also have the option of using pool-based acti ..."

Learning in graphical models

by Michael I. Jordan - STATISTICAL SCIENCE , 2004
"... Statistical applications in fields such as bioinformatics, information retrieval, speech processing, image processing and communications often involve large-scale models in which thousands or millions of random variables are linked in complex ways. Graphical models provide a general methodology for ..."

Depth-first Iterative-Deepening: An Optimal Admissible Tree Search

by Richard E. Korf - Artificial Intelligence , 1985
"... The complexities of various search algorithms are considered in terms of time, space, and cost of solution path. It is known that breadth-first search requires too much space and depth-first search can use too much time and doesn't always find a cheapest path. A depth-first iteratiw-deepening a ..."

-first iteratiw-deepening algorithm is the only known algorithm that is capable of finding optimal solutions to randomly generated instances of the Fifeen Puzzle within practical resource limits. 1.

Factor Graphs and the Sum-Product Algorithm

by Frank R. Kschischang, Brendan J. Frey, Hans-Andrea Loeliger - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY , 1998
"... A factor graph is a bipartite graph that expresses how a "global" function of many variables factors into a product of "local" functions. Factor graphs subsume many other graphical models including Bayesian networks, Markov random fields, and Tanner graphs. Following one simple c ..."

The strength of weak learnability

by Robert E. Schapire - MACHINE LEARNING , 1990
"... This paper addresses the problem of improving the accuracy of an hypothesis output by a learning algorithm in the distribution-free (PAC) learning model. A concept class is learnable (or strongly learnable) if, given access to a Source of examples of the unknown concept, the learner with high prob ..."
Abstract - Cited by 871 (26 self) - Add to MetaCart
probability is able to output an hypothesis that is correct on all but an arbitrarily small fraction of the instances. The concept class is weakly learnable if the learner can produce an hypothesis that performs only slightly better than random guessing. In this paper, it is shown that these two notions

Guaranteed minimumrank solutions of linear matrix equations via nuclear norm minimization,”

by Benjamin Recht , Maryam Fazel , Pablo A Parrilo - SIAM Review, , 2010
"... Abstract The affine rank minimization problem consists of finding a matrix of minimum rank that satisfies a given system of linear equality constraints. Such problems have appeared in the literature of a diverse set of fields including system identification and control, Euclidean embedding, and col ..."

, and collaborative filtering. Although specific instances can often be solved with specialized algorithms, the general affine rank minimization problem is NP-hard, because it contains vector cardinality minimization as a special case. In this paper, we show that if a certain restricted isometry property holds

Stable signal recovery from incomplete and inaccurate measurements,”

by Emmanuel J Candès , Justin K Romberg , Terence Tao - Comm. Pure Appl. Math., , 2006
"... Abstract Suppose we wish to recover a vector x 0 ∈ R m (e.g., a digital signal or image) from incomplete and contaminated observations y = Ax 0 + e; A is an n × m matrix with far fewer rows than columns (n m) and e is an error term. Is it possible to recover x 0 accurately based on the data y? To r ..."

, suppose that A is a Gaussian random matrix; then stable recovery occurs for almost all such A's provided that the number of nonzeros of x 0 is of about the same order as the number of observations. As a second instance, suppose one observes few Fourier samples of x 0 ; then stable recovery occurs
