Markov Chain Monte Carlo using Tree-Based Priors on Model Structure
We present a general framework for defining priors on model structure and sampling from the posterior using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. The key ideas are that structure pri...

Bayesian Inference for PCFGs via Markov Chain Monte Carlo
This paper presents two Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for Bayesian inference of probabilistic context free grammars (PCFGs) from terminal strings, providing an altern...

Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Computation of Reference Priors and Minimax Risk
We present an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing reference priors and minimax risk for general parametric families. Our approach uses MCMC techniques based...

Gapped alignment of protein sequence motifs through Monte Carlo optimization of a hidden Markov model
Background: Certain protein families are highly conserved across distantly related organisms and belong to large and functionally diverse superfamilies. The patterns of conservati...

Bayesian probabilistic matrix factorization using Markov chain Monte Carlo
Low-rank matrix approximation methods provide one of the simplest and most effective approaches to collaborative filtering. Such models are usually fitted to data by finding a MAP...
