Log-Linear Models
I've spent most of my research career trying to build big, complex
nonparametric
models

Verifying Stability of Stochastic Systems
I just finished presenting my recent paper on stochastic verification at RSS
2011. There is a conference version online
[http://www.roboticsproceedings.org/rss07/p41.html], with a journal article to
come later.
Useful Math
I have spent the last several months doing applied math, culminating in a
submission of a paper to a robotics conference
[http://www.roboticsconference.org/] (although culminating might be the wrong
word, since
Generalizing Across Categories
Humans are very good at correctly generalizing rules across categories (at
least, compared to computers). In this post I will examine mechanisms that would
allow us to do this in a reasonably rigorous
