Detecting Significant Multidimensional Spatial Clusters
Assume a uniform, multidimensional grid of bivariate data, where each cell of the grid has a count ci and a baseline bi. Our goal is to find spatial regions (d-dimensional rectang...

Expectation Consistent Free Energies for Approximate Inference
We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...

Hierarchical Bayesian Inference in Networks of Spiking Neurons
There is growing evidence from psychophysical and neurophysiological studies that the brain utilizes Bayesian principles for inference and decision making. An important open quest...

Discrete profile alignment via constrained information bottleneck
Amino acid profiles, which capture position-specific mutation probabilities, are a richer encoding of biological sequences than the individual sequences themselves. However, profi...

Variational Minimax Estimation of Discrete Distributions under KL Loss
We develop a family of upper and lower bounds on the worst-case expected KL loss for estimating a discrete distribution on a finite number m of points, given N i.i.d. samples. Our...
