Tree-structured probabilistic models admit simple, fast inference. However, they are not well suited to phenomena such as occlusion, where multiple components of an object may dis...
We consider the problem of identifying periodic trends in data streams. We say a signal a ∈ Rn is p-periodic if ai = ai+p for all i ∈ [n − p]. Recently, Erg¨un et al. [4] pr...
When students study for multiple-choice cloze tests as the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC), they tend to repeatedly tackle questions of the same type. In su...
Deep Belief Networks (DBN's) are generative models that contain many layers of hidden variables. Efficient greedy algorithms for learning and approximate inference have allow...
