Maximum likelihood from incomplete data via the EM algorithm
- 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 ..."

A modular three-dimensional finite-difference ground-water flow model
- U.S. Geological Survey Techniques of WaterResources Investigations Book 6, Chapter A1
, 1988
"... The primary objective of this course is to discuss the principals of finite difference methods and their applications in groundwater modeling. The emphasis of the class lectures is on the theoretical aspects of numerical modeling (finite difference method). Steps involved in simulation of groundwate ..."

of groundwater systems under various initial/boundary conditions and management schemes will be practiced. The emphasis of the student presentations will be based on published papers concerning the applied aspects of groundwater computer modeling utilizing finite difference and analytical computer models
Improved Statistical Alignment Models
- In Proceedings of the 38th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
, 2000
"... In this paper, we present and compare various single-word based alignment models for statistical machine translation. We discuss the five IBM alignment models, the Hidden-Markov alignment model, smoothing techniques and various modifications. ..."

Learning in graphical models
- 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 ..."

Learning probabilistic relational models
- In IJCAI
, 1999
"... A large portion of real-world data is stored in commercial relational database systems. In contrast, most statistical learning methods work only with "flat " data representations. Thus, to apply these methods, we are forced to convert our data into a flat form, thereby losing much ..."

of the relational structure present in our database. This paper builds on the recent work on probabilistic relational models (PRMs), and describes how to learn them from databases. PRMs allow the properties of an object to depend probabilistically both on other properties of that object and on properties of related
A Model of Investor Sentiment
- Journal of Financial Economics
, 1998
"... Recent empirical research in finance has uncovered two families of pervasive regularities: underreaction of stock prices to news such as earnings announcements, and overreaction of stock prices to a series of good or bad news. In this paper, we present a parsimonious model of investor sentiment, or ..."

Compositional Model Checking
, 1999
"... We describe a method for reducing the complexity of temporal logic model checking in systems composed of many parallel processes. The goal is to check properties of the components of a system and then deduce global properties from these local properties. The main difficulty with this type of approac ..."

of approach is that local properties are often not preserved at the global level. We present a general framework for using additional interface processes to model the environment for a component. These interface processes are typically much simpler than the full environment of the component. By composing a
Modeling Term Structures of Defaultable Bonds
, 1999
"... This article presents convenient reduced-form models of the valuation of contingent claims subject to default risk, focusing on applications to the term structure of interest rates for corporate or sovereign bonds. Examples include the valuation of a credit-spread option ..."

Nonparametric model for background subtraction
- in ECCV ’00
, 2000
"... Abstract. Background subtraction is a method typically used to seg-ment moving regions in image sequences taken from a static camera by comparing each new frame to a model of the scene background. We present a novel non-parametric background model and a background subtraction approach. The model can ..."
