Semi-parametric Exponential Family PCA
We present a semi-parametric latent variable model based technique for density modelling, dimensionality reduction and visualization. Unlike previous methods, we estimate the late...

Modeling homophily and stochastic equivalence in symmetric relational data
This article discusses a latent variable model for inference and prediction of symmetric relational data. The model, based on the idea of the eigenvalue decomposition, represents ...

Deterministic Latent Variable Models and Their Pitfalls
We derive a number of well known deterministic latent variable models such as PCA, ICA, EPCA, NMF and PLSA as variational EM approximations with point posteriors. We show that the...

Fast and Robust Multilingual Dependency Parsing with a Generative Latent Variable Model
We use a generative history-based model to predict the most likely derivation of a dependency parse. Our probabilistic model is based on Incremental Sigmoid Belief Networks, a rec...

On image auto-annotation with latent space models
Image auto-annotation, i.e., the association of words to whole images, has attracted considerable attention. In particular, unsupervised, probabilistic latent variable models of t...

Priors for People Tracking from Small Training Sets
We advocate the use of Scaled Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models (SGPLVM) to learn prior models of 3D human pose for 3D people tracking. The SGPLVM simultaneously optimizes a...

Supervised and Semi-supervised Separation of Sounds from Single-Channel Mixtures
In this paper we describe a methodology for model-based single channel separation of sounds. We present a sparse latent variable model that can learn sounds based on their distribu...

Manifold denoising with Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models
For a finite set of points lying on a lower dimensional manifold embedded in a high-dimensional data space, algorithms have been developed to study the manifold structure. Howeve...

A Non-parametric Approach to Pair-Wise Dynamic Topic Correlation Detection
We introduce dynamic correlated topic models (DCTM) for analyzing discrete data over time. This model is inspired by the hierarchical Gaussian process latent variable models (GP-L...

Independent factor topic models
Topic models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Correlated Topic Model (CTM) have recently emerged as powerful statistical tools for text document modeling. In this pap...
