Big data makes it possible in principle to learn very rich probabilistic models, but inference in them is prohibitively expensive.

In this talk, I will be discussing the connection between vision and language, particularly focusing on how to generate human-like reference to visible objects.

Compilers and computer-aided design tools will be essential for quantum computing.

The development of graphical models and the logic of counterfactuals have had a marked effect on the way scientists treat problems involving cause-effect relationships.

Data is accumulating at such a rate that there are no longer enough qualified humans to analyse it. Machine learning is needed to make data useful in many sectors which are drowning in it.

If you�re working on a Windows 8 app, you may be considering a monetization strategy that includes the use of ads.

The internet has revolutionized the way we communicate, leading to a constant flood of informal text available in electronic format, including: email, Twitter, SMS and also informal text produced in

An emerging class of distributed database management systems (DBMS), known as NewSQL, provide the same scalable performance of NoSQL systems while maintaining the consistency guarantees of a

Computer systems have become more complex over the past decades. As a result, excess virtualization can happen, where redundant levels of virtualization exist in a single system.

Microsoft provides access to consumers around the globe through the Windows and Windows Phone stores. However, not everyone that uses these stores are native English speakers.

In many fields of computing, techniques ranging from testing to formal modeling to full-blown verification have been successfully used to build reliable systems.

An important cause for the insecurity of today's computer systems is security--performance trade-offs made decades ago, which are now deeply embedded in the hardware and software ecosystem, but

Kernel learning algorithms occupy a prominent position within machine learning having given state-of-the-art performance in several domains.

The goal in nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is to express, exactly or approximately, a given matrix as a product of two nonnegative matrices of smaller inner dimension.

Programs can be modularly decomposed in several dimensions.

Fully automated algorithms are inadequate for a number of data analysis tasks, especially those involving images, video, or text.

In mechanism design, we wish to find an allocation rule and payment rule that together maximize the designer's objective and induce agents to reveal their private information truthfully.

Social media has been with us as a mainstream phenomenon for barely a decade now.

We present a general method for deriving collapsed variational inference algorithms for probabilistic models in the conjugate exponential family.

In recent years, smart mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, have increasingly become the computing platform of choice.
