Deep multi-color galaxy surveys with photometric redshifts will provide a large number of twopoint correlation observables: galaxy-galaxy angular correlations, galaxy-shear cross correlations, and shear-shear correlations between all redshifts. These observables can potentially enable a joint determination of the dark energy dependent evolution of the dark matter and distances as well as the re...

In this work, we aim at building a bridge from poor behavioral data to an effective, quick-response, and robust behavior model for online identity theft detection. We concentrate on this issue in online social networks (OSNs) where users usually have composite behavioral records, consisting of multi-dimensional low-quality data, e.g., offline check-ins and online user generated content (UGC). A...

This paper presents a novel approach that improves the robustness of prosody dependent language modeling by leveraging the dependence between prosody and syntax. A prosody dependent language model describes the joint probability distribution of concurrent word and prosody sequences and can be used to provide prior language constraints in a prosody dependent speech recognizer. Robust Maximum Lik...

Many prior studies have investigated the recovery of semantic arguments for nominal predicates. The models in many of these studies have assumed that arguments are independent of each other. This assumption simplifies the computational modeling of semantic arguments, but it ignores the joint nature of natural language. This paper presents a preliminary investigation into the joint modeling of i...

This paper addresses the joint robust power control and beamforming design of a linear multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system in the downlink where users are subjected to individual signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) requirements, and the channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) with its uncertainty characterized by an ellipsoidal region. The objec...
