The feud between Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton, over whether Newton should have acknowledged Hooke's influence on his graphical method of constructing planet orbits, the celebrated Proposition 1, Theorem 1 Principia, has remained ongoing among their respective supporters, even after 300 years. drama escalated in recent decades, with a claim that may used same obtained an elliptical orbit for li...

We propose a new variational inference method which uses recognition models for amortized inference in graphical models that contain deep generative models. Unlike many existing approaches, our method can handle non-conjugacy in both the latent graphical model and the deep generative model, and enables fully amortized inference at test time. Our method is based on an extension of a recently pro...

For non-isothermal operation in plate type gas absorber, the temperature changes and number of ideal trays can be determined with recourse to graphical method. In this paper there is an analysis illustrating that a Modified Kremser Equation can be used for plate type gas absorber in non-isothermal operation.

Graphical belief networks, including Bayes nets and influence diagrams, can be represented with directed hypergraphs. Each directed hyperedge corresponds to a factor of the joint distribution of all variables in the model. A hyperedge replacement grammar is a collection of rules for replacing hyperedges with hypergraphs. A hyperedge replacement grammar for graphical belief networks defines a co...
