We propose a novel probabilistic method based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to learn the structure of a Latent Variable Model (LVM) for query language modeling. In the proposed...
We introduce standardised building blocks designed to be used with variational Bayesian learning. The blocks include Gaussian variables, summation, multiplication, nonlinearity, a...

In many real world prediction problems the output is a structured object like a sequence or a tree or a graph. Such problems range from natural language processing to computationa...

—Inferring latent structures from observations helps to model and possibly also understand underlying data generating processes. A rich class of latent structures are the latent ...
We consider the problem of obtaining a reduced dimension representation of electropalatographic (EPG) data. An unsupervised learning approach based on latent variable modelling is...
