I'd strongly recommend these, if you are interested in these kinds of things. I look forward eagerly to watching the annual Christmas Tree lecture every year (this year on on Bayesian trees and BDDs, to be held December 8, probably posted online a few days later).
One year Knuth offhandedly mentioned a question I had posed in an email a few days earlier (regarding TAOCP), which was a big thrill, and indicates that despite the warning that email may take 6 months to reach him, it is often much quicker.
- jasondavies 15y agoComputing Bayesian network probabilities using BDDs sounds interesting. Are there any references for this, or do I have to wait in suspense for the lecture? :)
- michael_dorfman 15y agoI don't know of any off-hand, but there must be; Knuth is usually collating the work of others. The abstract for the lecture is here: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/musings.html http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/musings.html
