Coherent Inference on Optimal Play in Game Trees
Round-based games are an instance of discrete planning problems. Some of the best contemporary game tree search algorithms use random roll-outs as data. Relying on a good policy, ...

Expectation Truncation and the Benefits of Preselection In Training Generative Models
We show how a preselection of hidden variables can be used to efficiently train generative models with binary hidden variables. The approach is based on Expectation Maximization (...

Binary coding of speech spectrograms using a deep auto-encoder
This paper reports our recent exploration of the layer-by-layer learning strategy for training a multi-layer generative model of patches of speech spectrograms. The top layer of t...

A Categorical Model for Discovering Latent Structure in Social Annotations
The advent of social tagging systems has enabled a new community-based view of the Web in which objects like images, videos, and Web pages are annotated by thousands of users. Und...

Painless Unsupervised Learning with Features
We show how features can easily be added to standard generative models for unsupervised learning, without requiring complex new training methods. In particular, each component mul...

Combining free energy score spaces with information theoretic kernels: Application to scene classification
Most approaches to learn classifiers for structured objects (e.g., images) use generative models in a classical Bayesian framework. However, state-of-the-art classifiers for vecto...

Information Theoretical Kernels for Generative Embeddings Based on Hidden Markov Models
Many approaches to learning classifiers for structured objects (e.g., shapes) use generative models in a Bayesian framework. However, state-of-the-art classifiers for vectorial d...

Scene Classification Using a Hybrid Generative/Discriminative Approach
We investigate whether dimensionality reduction using a latent generative model is beneficial for the task of weakly supervised scene classification. In detail we are given a set ...
