Real-valued random hidden variables can be useful for modelling latent structure that explains correlations among observed variables. I propose a simple unit that adds zero-mean G...
We introduce an expectation maximizationtype (EM) algorithm for maximum likelihood optimization of conditional densities. It is applicable to hidden variable models where the dist...
We present two machine learning approaches to information extraction from semi-structured documents that can be used if no annotated training data are available, but there does ex...
We present algorithms for automatic feature selection for unsupervised structure discovery from video sequences. Feature selection in this scenario is hard because of the absence ...
Many traditional methods for shape classification involve
establishing point correspondences between shapes to
produce matching scores, which are in turn used as similarity
meas...
