Compiling Relational Database Schemata into Probabilistic Graphical Models
Sameer Singh, Thore Graepel
Instead of requiring a domain expert to specify the probabilistic dependencies of the data, in this work we present an approach that uses the relational DB schema to automatically…
A mixed model approach for joint genetic analysis of alternatively spliced transcript isoforms using RNA-Seq data
Barbara Rakitsch, Christoph Lippert, Hande Topa +3
RNA-Seq technology allows for studying the transcriptional state of the cell at an unprecedented level of detail. Beyond quantification of whole-gene expression, it is now possible…
Detecting the trail of a random walker in a random scenery
Noam Berger, Yuval Peres
Suppose that the vertices of the Euclidean lattice Z^d are endowed with a random scenery, obtained by tossing a fair coin at each vertex. A random walker, starting from the origin,…
Sequential Auctions of Identical Items with Budget-Constrained Bidders
Zhiyi Huang, Nikhil R. Devanur, David Malec
In this paper, we study sequential auctions with two budget constrained bidders and any number of identical items. All prior results on such auctions consider only two items. We co…
ARMA Time-Series Modeling with Graphical Models
Bo Thiesson, David Maxwell Chickering, David Heckerman +1
We express the classic ARMA time-series model as a directed graphical model. In doing so, we find that the deterministic relationships in the model make it effectively impossible t…
Decoupling Exploration and Exploitation in Multi-Armed Bandits
Orly Avner, Shie Mannor, Ohad Shamir
We consider a multi-armed bandit problem where the decision maker can explore and exploit different arms at every round. The exploited arm adds to the decision maker's cumulative r…
