Fast MCMC sampling for Markov jump processes and continuous time Bayesian networks
Markov jump processes and continuous time Bayesian networks are important classes of continuous time dynamical systems. In this paper, we tackle the problem of inferring unobserve...

Semi-Markov Conditional Random Fields for Information Extraction
We describe semi-Markov conditional random fields (semi-CRFs), a conditionally trained version of semi-Markov chains. Intuitively, a semiCRF on an input sequence x outputs a "...

Variational Inference for Adaptor Grammars
Adaptor grammars extend probabilistic context-free grammars to define prior distributions over trees with "rich get richer" dynamics. Inference for adaptor grammars seek...

A Bayesian approach to inferring vascular tree structure from 2D imagery
We describe a method for inferring tree-like vascular structures from 2D imagery. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is employed to produce approximate samples from the p...

Efficient Sampling for Gaussian Process Inference using Control Variables
Sampling functions in Gaussian process (GP) models is challenging because of the highly correlated posterior distribution. We describe an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algori...
