Deterministic Latent Variable Models and Their Pitfalls
We derive a number of well known deterministic latent variable models such as PCA, ICA, EPCA, NMF and PLSA as variational EM approximations with point posteriors. We show that the...

Discriminative Gaussian process latent variable model for classification
Supervised learning is difficult with high dimensional input spaces and very small training sets, but accurate classification may be possible if the data lie on a low-dimensional ...

Priors for People Tracking from Small Training Sets
We advocate the use of Scaled Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models (SGPLVM) to learn prior models of 3D human pose for 3D people tracking. The SGPLVM simultaneously optimizes a...

Continuous Sigmoidal Belief Networks Trained using Slice Sampling
Real-valued random hidden variables can be useful for modelling latent structure that explains correlations among observed variables. I propose a simple unit that adds zero-mean G...

Dynamic Factor Graphs for Time Series Modeling
Abstract. This article presents a method for training Dynamic Factor Graphs (DFG) with continuous latent state variables. A DFG includes factors modeling joint probabilities betwee...
