Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are important tools for modeling sequence data. However, they are restricted to discrete latent states, and are largely restricted to Gaussian and disc...

We introduce the Spherical Admixture Model (SAM), a Bayesian topic model for arbitrary 2 normalized data. SAM maintains the same hierarchical structure as Latent Dirichlet Allocat...

We discuss the problem of overfitting of probabilistic neural networks in the framework of statistical pattern recognition. The probabilistic approach to neural networks provides a...
Deep autoencoder networks have successfully been applied in unsupervised dimension reduction. The autoencoder has a "bottleneck" middle layer of only a few hidden units, ...
Abstract. We present an algorithm for counting the irreducible components of a complex algebraic variety defined by a fixed number of polynomials encoded as straight-line programs ...
