We present a tutorial survey on some recent approaches to unsupervised machine learning in the context of statistical pattern recognition. In statistical PR, there are two classica...
Abstract. Topic models are a discrete analogue to principle component analysis and independent component analysis that model topic at the word level within a document. They have ma...
We introduce FuncICA, a new independent component analysis method for pattern discovery in inherently functional data, such as time series data. FuncICA can be considered an analo...
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...
Many machine learning algorithms can be formulated in the framework of statistical independence such as the Hilbert Schmidt Independence Criterion. In this paper, we extend this c...
