Hierarchical probabilistic modeling of discrete data has emerged as a powerful tool for text analysis. Posterior inference in such models is intractable, and practitioners rely on...
Abstract—Following the trend of “segmentation for recognition”, we present 2LDA, a novel generative model to automatically segment an image in 2 segments, background and fore...

A new hierarchical nonparametric Bayesian model is proposed for the problem of multitask learning (MTL) with sequential data. Sequential data are typically modeled with a hidden M...
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...
Previously topic models such as PLSI (Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing) and LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) were developed for modeling the contents of plain texts. Recent...
