The presence of autocorrelation provides a strong motivation for using relational learning and inference techniques. Autocorrelation is a statistical dependence between the values...
Nonnegative matrix tri-factorization (NMTF) is a 3-factor decomposition of a nonnegative data matrix, X USV , where factor matrices, U, S, and V , are restricted to be nonnegativ...
Some models of textual corpora employ text generation methods involving n-gram statistics, while others use latent topic variables inferred using the "bag-of-words" assu...
We develop a new component analysis framework, the Noisy-Or Component Analyzer (NOCA), that targets high-dimensional binary data. NOCA is a probabilistic latent variable model tha...
Discriminative approaches for human pose estimation model the functional mapping, or conditional distribution, between image features and 3D pose. Learning such multi-modal models ...
