The Infinite Hierarchical Factor Regression Model
We propose a nonparametric Bayesian factor regression model that accounts for uncertainty in the number of factors, and the relationship between factors. To accomplish this, we pr...

Beyond Novelty Detection: Incongruent Events, when General and Specific Classifiers Disagree
Unexpected stimuli are a challenge to any machine learning algorithm. Here we identify distinct types of unexpected events, focusing on 'incongruent events' when 'g...

Fast Computation of Posterior Mode in Multi-Level Hierarchical Models
Multi-level hierarchical models provide an attractive framework for incorporating correlations induced in a response variable organized in a hierarchy. Model fitting is challengin...

Integrating Locally Learned Causal Structures with Overlapping Variables
In many domains, data are distributed among datasets that share only some variables; other recorded variables may occur in only one dataset. While there are asymptotically correct...

Nonlinear causal discovery with additive noise models
The discovery of causal relationships between a set of observed variables is a fundamental problem in science. For continuous-valued data linear acyclic causal models with additiv...

Logistic Normal Priors for Unsupervised Probabilistic Grammar Induction
We explore a new Bayesian model for probabilistic grammars, a family of distributions over discrete structures that includes hidden Markov models and probabilistic context-free gr...

Robust Kernel Principal Component Analysis
Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) is a popular generalization of linear PCA that allows non-linear feature extraction. In KPCA, data in the input space is mapped to highe...

Inferring rankings under constrained sensing
Motivated by applications like elections, web-page ranking, revenue maximization etc., we consider the question of inferring popular rankings using constrained data. More specific...

On the asymptotic equivalence between differential Hebbian and temporal difference learning using a local third factor
In this theoretical contribution we provide mathematical proof that two of the most important classes of network learning - correlation-based differential Hebbian learning and rew...
