We address the problem of learning topic hierarchies from data. The model selection problem in this domain is daunting—which of the large collection of possible trees to use? We...

: Markov models have been proposed for the classification of DNA-motifs using generative approaches for parameter learning. Here, we propose to apply the discriminative paradigm fo...

Probabilistic topic models have become popular as methods for dimensionality reduction in collections of text documents or images. These models are usually treated as generative m...
In this paper we propose a probabilistic model for online document clustering. We use non-parametric Dirichlet process prior to model the growing number of clusters, and use a pri...
One important problem in machine learning is how to extract knowledge from prior experience, then transfer and apply this knowledge in new learning tasks. To address this problem, ...
