Standard hidden Markov models (HMM's) have been studied extensively in the last two decades. It is well known that these models assume state conditional independence of the ob...
We present the use of layered probabilistic representations for modeling human activities, and describe how we use the representation to do sensing, learning, and inference at mul...
The stochastic Lotka-Volterra model is an infinite Markov population model that has applications in various life science domains. Its analysis is challenging since, besides an infi...
Abstract Trained musicians intuitively produce expressive variations that add to their audience's enjoyment. However, there is little quantitative information about the kinds ...
A few models have appeared in recent years that consider not only the way substitutions occur through evolutionary history at each site of a genome, but also the way the process c...
