Collapsed Variational Inference for HDP
A wide variety of Dirichlet-multinomial ‘topic’ models have found interesting applications in recent years. While Gibbs sampling remains an important method of inference in su...

Unconstrained On-line Handwriting Recognition with Recurrent Neural Networks
In online handwriting recognition the trajectory of the pen is recorded during writing. Although the trajectory provides a compact and complete representation of the written outpu...

On Sparsity and Overcompleteness in Image Models
Computational models of visual cortex, and in particular those based on sparse coding, have enjoyed much recent attention. Despite this currency, the question of how sparse or how...

Testing for Homogeneity with Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis
We propose to investigate test statistics for testing homogeneity based on kernel Fisher discriminant analysis. Asymptotic null distributions under null hypothesis are derived, an...

On higher-order perceptron algorithms
A new algorithm for on-line learning linear-threshold functions is proposed which efficiently combines second-order statistics about the data with the ”logarithmic behavior” ...

Agreement-Based Learning
The learning of probabilistic models with many hidden variables and nondecomposable dependencies is an important and challenging problem. In contrast to traditional approaches bas...

Gaussian Process Models for Link Analysis and Transfer Learning
In this paper we model relational random variables on the edges of a network using Gaussian processes (GPs). We describe appropriate GP priors, i.e., covariance functions, for dir...

Computational Equivalence of Fixed Points and No Regret Algorithms, and Convergence to Equilibria
We study the relation between notions of game-theoretic equilibria which are based on stability under a set of deviations, and empirical equilibria which are reached by rational p...

Multi-Task Learning via Conic Programming
When we have several related tasks, solving them simultaneously is shown to be more effective than solving them individually. This approach is called multi-task learning (MTL) and...
