Approximate Inference in Additive Factorial HMMs with Application to Energy Disaggregation
This paper considers additive factorial hidden Markov models, an extension to HMMs where the state factors into multiple independent chains, and the output is an additive function...

Lifted coordinate descent for learning with trace-norm regularization
We consider the minimization of a smooth loss with trace-norm regularization, which is a natural objective in multi-class and multitask learning. Even though the problem is convex...
