Continuous Sigmoidal Belief Networks Trained using Slice Sampling
Real-valued random hidden variables can be useful for modelling latent structure that explains correlations among observed variables. I propose a simple unit that adds zero-mean G...

New Outer Bounds on the Marginal Polytope
We give a new class of outer bounds on the marginal polytope, and propose a cutting-plane algorithm for efficiently optimizing over these constraints. When combined with a concav...

Finding Metric Structure in Information Theoretic Clustering
We study the problem of clustering discrete probability distributions with respect to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. This problem arises naturally in many applications. Our...
