Community QA portals provide an important resource for non-factoid question-answering. The inherent noisiness of user-generated data makes the identification of high-quality cont...
Nonnegative matrix tri-factorization (NMTF) is a 3-factor decomposition of a nonnegative data matrix, X USV , where factor matrices, U, S, and V , are restricted to be nonnegativ...
We study a generative model in which hidden causes combine competitively to produce observations. Multiple active causes combine to determine the value of an observed variable thr...
Sparse coding—that is, modelling data vectors as sparse linear combinations of basis elements—is widely used in machine learning, neuroscience, signal processing, and statisti...
