Stochastic Composite Likelihood
Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...

On the Convergence Properties of Contrastive Divergence
Contrastive Divergence (CD) is a popular method for estimating the parameters of Markov Random Fields (MRFs) by rapidly approximating an intractable term in the gradient of the lo...

On the quantitative analysis of deep belief networks
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...

Using fast weights to improve persistent contrastive divergence
The most commonly used learning algorithm for restricted Boltzmann machines is contrastive divergence which starts a Markov chain at a data point and runs the chain for only a few...

Topic Distributions over Links on Web
—It is well known that Web users create links with different intentions. However, a key question, which is not well studied, is how to categorize the links and how to quantify th...
