Unsupervised Aggregation for Classification Problems with Large Numbers of Categories
Classification problems with a very large or unbounded set of output categories are common in many areas such as natural language and image processing. In order to improve accurac...

Dirichlet Process Mixtures of Generalized Linear Models
We propose Dirichlet Process mixtures of Generalized Linear Models (DP-GLMs), a new method of nonparametric regression that accommodates continuous and categorical inputs, models ...

Exploiting Within-Clique Factorizations in Junction-Tree Algorithms
It is probably fair to say that exact inference in graphical models is considered a solved problem, at least regarding its computational complexity: it is exponential in the treew...

Polynomial-Time Exact Inference in NP-Hard Binary MRFs via Reweighted Perfect Matching
We develop a new form of reweighting (Wainwright et al., 2005b) to leverage the relationship between Ising spin glasses and perfect matchings into a novel technique for the exact ...

Dense Message Passing for Sparse Principal Component Analysis
We describe a novel inference algorithm for sparse Bayesian PCA with a zero-norm prior on the model parameters. Bayesian inference is very challenging in probabilistic models of t...

HOP-MAP: Efficient Message Passing with High Order Potentials
There is a growing interest in building probabilistic models with high order potentials (HOPs), or interactions, among discrete variables. Message passing inference in such models...

The Group Dantzig Selector
We introduce a new method -- the group Dantzig selector -- for high dimensional sparse regression with group structure, which has a convincing theory about why utilizing the group...

Active Sequential Learning with Tactile Feedback
We consider the problem of tactile discrimination, with the goal of estimating an underlying state parameter in a sequential setting. If the data is continuous and highdimensional...
