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 ..."

to work well. In this paper we investigate loopy prop agation empirically under a wider range of conditions. Is there something special about the error-correcting code setting, or does loopy propagation work as an approximation scheme for a wider range of networks? ..\ x(:x).) (1) where: and: The message
On Spectral Clustering: Analysis and an algorithm
- ADVANCES IN NEURAL INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS
, 2001
"... Despite many empirical successes of spectral clustering methods -- algorithms that cluster points using eigenvectors of matrices derived from the distances between the points -- there are several unresolved issues. First, there is a wide variety of algorithms that use the eigenvectors in slightly ..."

A Philosopher’s Guide to Empirical Success
"... ABSTRACT: The simple question—What is empirical success?—turns out to have a surprisingly complicated answer. We need to distinguish between meritorious fit and “fudged fit”, which is akin to the distinction between prediction and accommodation. The final proposal is that empirical success emerges i ..."

Exceptional Exporter Performance: Cause, Effect or Both
- Journal of International Economics
, 1999
"... A growing body of empirical work has documented the superior performance characteristics of exporting plants and firms relative to non-exporters. Employment, shipments, wages, productivity and capital intensity are all higher at exporters at any given moment. This paper asks whether good firms becom ..."

The benefits of frequent positive affect: Does happiness lead to success?
- PSYCHOLOGICAL BULLETIN
, 2005
"... Numerous studies show that happy individuals are successful across multiple life domains, including marriage, friendship, income, work performance, and health. The authors suggest a conceptual model to account for these findings, arguing that the happiness–success link exists not only because succes ..."

Example-based learning for view-based human face detection
- IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
, 1998
"... Abstract—We present an example-based learning approach for locating vertical frontal views of human faces in complex scenes. The technique models the distribution of human face patterns by means of a few view-based “face ” and “nonface ” model clusters. At each image location, a difference feature v ..."

vector is computed between the local image pattern and the distribution-based model. A trained classifier determines, based on the difference feature vector measurements, whether or not a human face exists at the current image location. We show empirically that the distance metric we adopt
Finite-time analysis of the multiarmed bandit problem

, 2002
"... Abstract. Reinforcement learning policies face the exploration versus exploitation dilemma, i.e. the search for a balance between exploring the environment to find profitable actions while taking the empirically best action as often as possible. A popular measure of a policy’s success in addressing ..."
