Elliptical slice sampling
Many probabilistic models introduce strong dependencies between variables using a latent multivariate Gaussian distribution or a Gaussian process. We present a new Markov chain Mo...

Dense Message Passing for Sparse Principal Component Analysis
We describe a novel inference algorithm for sparse Bayesian PCA with a zero-norm prior on the model parameters. Bayesian inference is very challenging in probabilistic models of t...

Distinguishing between cause and effect
We propose a novel method for inferring whether X causes Y or vice versa from joint observations of X and Y . The basic idea is to model the observed data using probabilistic late...

A general Bayesian algorithm for visual object tracking based on sparse features
This paper describes a Bayesian algorithm for rigid/non-rigid 2D visual object tracking based on sparse image features. The algorithm is inspired by the way human visual cortex se...

Evaluating the Rarity of Handwriting Formations
—Identifying unusual or unique characteristics of an observed sample in useful in forensics in general and handwriting analysis in particular. Rarity is formulated as the probabi...
