Incorporating Boosted Regression Trees into Ecological Latent Variable Models
Important ecological phenomena are often observed indirectly. Consequently, probabilistic latent variable models provide an important tool, because they can include explicit model...

Latent Tree Models and Approximate Inference in Bayesian Networks
We propose a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian networks (BNs). The idea is to sample data from a BN, learn a latent tree model (LTM) from the data offline, and wh...

Statistical Relational Learning with Formal Ontologies
Abstract. We propose a learning approach for integrating formal knowledge into statistical inference by exploiting ontologies as a semantically rich and fully formal representation...

Hierarchical Gaussian process latent variable models
The Gaussian process latent variable model (GP-LVM) is a powerful approach for probabilistic modelling of high dimensional data through dimensional reduction. In this paper we ext...

Exploiting Data-Independence for Fast Belief-Propagation
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in graphical models requires that we maximize the sum of two terms: a data-dependent term, encoding the conditional likelihood of a certain la...
