Sparse Probabilistic Relational Projection
Probabilistic relational PCA (PRPCA) can learn a projection matrix to perform dimensionality reduction for relational data. However, the results learned by PRPCA lack interpretabi...

Multi-Instance Mixture Models
Multi-instance (MI) learning is a variant of supervised learning where labeled examples consist of bags (i.e. multi-sets) of feature vectors instead of just a single feature vecto...

Gaussian beam decomposition of high frequency wave fields using expectation-maximization
A new numerical method for approximating highly oscillatory wave fields as a superposition of Gaussian beams is presented. The method estimates the number of beams and their para...

Estimating 3D Pose via Stochastic Search and Expectation Maximization
In this paper an approach is described to estimate 3D pose using a part based stochastic method. A proposed representation of the human body is explored defined over joints that e...
