Anytime Lifted Belief Propagation
We present an algorithm, Anytime Lifted Belief Propagation, that corresponds to this intuition by performing shattering during belief propagation inference, on an as-needed basis, starting on the most relevant parts…

Bottom-Up/Top-Down Image Parsing with Attribute Grammar
We present a simple attribute graph grammar as a generative representation for made-made scenes and studies an effective top-down/bottom-up inference algorithm for parsing images in the process of maximizing a…

Classification and Selective Collection of Individual Aerosol Particles Using Laser-Induced Fluorescence
We describe the development and performance evaluation of a system for optical interrogation, subsequent selection, and collection of individual aerosol particles entrained in an inlet air stream.

WikiWalk: Random walks on Wikipedia for semantic relatedness
This paper evaluates methods for building the graph, including link selection strategies, and two methods for representing input texts as distributions over the graph nodes: one based on a dictionary…

Prediction and Discovery of Users’ Desktop Behavior
We show that efficient many-class learning can perform well for action prediction in the Unix domain, significantly improving over previously published results.

Adaptive Security in Broadcast Encryption Systems (With Short Ciphertexts)
We present new techniques for achieving adaptive security in broadcast encryption systems. Previous work on fully collusion resistant broadcast encryption systems with very short ciphertexts was limited to considering only static security.
