Maximum likelihood from incomplete data via the EM algorithm

by A. P. Dempster, N. M. Laird, D. B. Rubin - JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY, SERIES B , 1977
"... A broadly applicable algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data is presented at various levels of generality. Theory showing the monotone behaviour of the likelihood and convergence of the algorithm is derived. Many examples are sketched, including missing value situat ..."

Algorithms for Quantum Computation: Discrete Logarithms and Factoring

by Peter W. Shor , 1994
"... A computer is generally considered to be a universal computational device; i.e., it is believed able to simulate any physical computational device with a increase in computation time of at most a polynomial factor. It is not clear whether this is still true when quantum mechanics is taken into consi ..."

This paper gives Las Vegas algorithms for finding discrete logarithms and factoring integers on a quantum computer that take a number

Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and Discrete Logarithms on a Quantum Computer

by Peter W. Shor - SIAM J. on Computing , 1997
"... A digital computer is generally believed to be an efficient universal computing device; that is, it is believed able to simulate any physical computing device with an increase in computation time by at most a polynomial factor. This may not be true when quantum mechanics is taken into consideration. ..."

A Fast Quantum Mechanical Algorithm for Database Search

by Lov K. Grover - ANNUAL ACM SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY OF COMPUTING , 1996
"... Imagine a phone directory containing N names arranged in completely random order. In order to find someone's phone number with a probability of , any classical algorithm (whether deterministic or probabilistic) will need to look at a minimum of names. Quantum mechanical systems can be in a supe ..."

Quantum Gravity

by Lee Smolin , 2004
"... We describe the basic assumptions and key results of loop quantum gravity, which is a background independent approach to quantum gravity. The emphasis is on the basic physical principles and how one deduces predictions from them, at a level suitable for physicists in other areas such as string theor ..."

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 ..."

computational rule, the sum-product algorithm operates in factor graphs to compute---either exactly or approximately---various marginal functions by distributed message-passing in the graph. A wide variety of algorithms developed in artificial intelligence, signal processing, and digital communications can

Algorithms for Non-negative Matrix Factorization

by Daniel D. Lee, H. Sebastian Seung - In NIPS , 2001
"... Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has previously been shown to be a useful decomposition for multivariate data. Two different multiplicative algorithms for NMF are analyzed. They differ only slightly in the multiplicative factor used in the update rules. One algorithm can be shown to minim ..."

"... Randomized algorithms, once viewed as a tool in computational number theory, have by now found widespread application. Growth has been fueled by the two major benefits of randomization: simplicity and speed. For many applications a randomized algorithm is the fastest algorithm available, or the simp ..."
