  Discriminative Training for Structured Predictions: An Efficient
  Optimization Method

We consider structured prediction problems with a parametrized linear
prediction function. Corresponding to such type of problems are many
applications: sentence alignment, image segmentation, and HMM, for

On Learning The Most Probable Bayesian Network

Abstract:
Learning the MAP Bayesian network for a complete discrete data is known
to be an NP-hard problem. Consequently, much of the research effort has
been concentrated on developing heuristics for this important task.
However, recent advances in exact methods for learning Bayesian Networks
