This paper establishes a connection between two apparently very different kinds of probabilistic models. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) models are used as "topic models&qu...
Abstract. This paper considers the dynamic tree (DT) model, first introduced in [1]. A dynamic tree specifies a prior over structures of trees, each of which is a forest of one or ...
We live in the information age, where the amount of data readily available already overwhelms our capacity to analyze and absorb it without help from our machines. In particular, ...
Multi-class binary symbol classification requires the use of rich descriptors and robust classifiers. Shape representation is a difficult task because of several symbol distortions...
Deep belief networks are a powerful way to model complex probability distributions. However, it is difficult to learn the structure of a belief network, particularly one with hidd...
