Statistical and Computational Tradeoffs in Stochastic Composite Likelihood
Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...

Learning with Blocks: Composite Likelihood and Contrastive Divergence
Composite likelihood methods provide a wide spectrum of computationally efficient techniques for statistical tasks such as parameter estimation and model selection. In this paper,...

Sample Complexity of Composite Likelihood
We present the first PAC bounds for learning parameters of Conditional Random Fields [12] with general structures over discrete and real-valued variables. Our bounds apply to com...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of a Stochastic Integrate-and-Fire Neural Model
Recent work has examined the estimation of models of stimulus-driven neural activity in which some linear filtering process is followed by a nonlinear, probabilistic spiking stag...
