— A long cherished goal in artificial intelligence has been the ability to endow a robot with the capacity to learn and generalize skills from watching a human teacher. Such an ...
We present a class of models that, via a simple construction,
enables exact, incremental, non-parametric, polynomial-time,
Bayesian inference of conditional measures. The approac...
We introduce a generative model of dense flow fields within a layered representation of 3-dimensional scenes. Using probabilistic inference and learning techniques (namely, varia...
We describe the first tractable Gibbs sampling procedure for estimating phrase pair frequencies under a probabilistic model of phrase alignment. We propose and evaluate two nonpar...
It is possible to broadly characterize two approaches to probabilistic modeling in terms of generative and discriminative methods. Provided with sufficient training data the discr...
