We investigate theoretically some properties of variational Bayes approximations based on estimating the mixing coefficients of known densities. We show that, with probability 1 a...
Deep Belief Networks (DBN's) are generative models that contain many layers of hidden variables. Efficient greedy algorithms for learning and approximate inference have allow...
We study a generative model in which hidden causes combine competitively to produce observations. Multiple active causes combine to determine the value of an observed variable thr...
The expanding and dynamic nature of the Web poses enormous challenges to most data mining techniques that try to extract patterns from Web data, such as Web usage and Web content....
—Inspired by the biological entities’ ability to achieve reciprocity in the course of evolution, this paper considers a conjecture-based distributed learning approach that enab...
