A type theory for probability density functions
There has been great interest in creating probabilistic programming languages to simplify the coding of statistical tasks; however, there still does not exist a formal language th...

A Probability Distribution Of Functional Random Variable With A Functional Data Analysis Application
Probability distributions are central tools for probabilistic modeling in data mining, and they lack in functional data analysis (FDA). In this paper we propose a probability dist...

Natural Conjugate Gradient in Variational Inference
Variational methods for approximate inference in machine learning often adapt a parametric probability distribution to optimize a given objective function. This view is especially ...

Priority queueing systems: from probability generating functions to tail probabilities
Obtaining (tail) probabilities from a transform function is an important topic in queueing theory. To obtain these probabilities in discrete-time queueing systems, we have to inve...

Noise-Contrastive Estimation of Unnormalized Statistical Models, with Applications to Natural Image Statistics
We consider the task of estimating, from observed data, a probabilistic model that is parameterized by a finite number of parameters. In particular, we are considering the situat...
