Many perceptual models and theories hinge on treating objects as a collection of constituent parts. When applying these approaches to data, a fundamental problem arises: how can w...
This paper describes nonparametric Bayesian treatments for analyzing records containing occurrences of items. The introduced model retains the strength of previous approaches that...
Matrix factorization algorithms are frequently used in the machine learning community to find low dimensional representations of data. We introduce a novel generative Bayesian pro...
Matrix factorization is a fundamental technique in machine learning that is applicable to collaborative filtering, information retrieval and many other areas. In collaborative fil...
This paper proposes a novel Bayesian approximation inference method for mixture modeling. Our key idea is to factorize marginal log-likelihood using a variational distribution ove...
