Learning a generative model of natural images is a useful way of extracting features that capture interesting regularities. Previous work on learning such models has focused on me...
To improve the process of user information retrieval, we propose the concept of a latent semantic map (LSM), along with a method of generating this map. The novel aspect of the LS...
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in graphical models requires that we maximize the sum of two terms: a data-dependent term, encoding the conditional likelihood of a certain la...
Motivation – Designers make decisions that later influence how users work with the systems that they have designed. When errors occur in use, it is tempting to focus on the acti...
We consider the problem of obtaining a reduced dimension representation of electropalatographic (EPG) data. An unsupervised learning approach based on latent variable modelling is...
