In this paper, a novel learning algorithm for Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) has been devised. The key issue is the achievement of a sparse model, i.e., a model in which all irreleva...
We present a general framework for defining priors on model structure and sampling from the posterior using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. The key ideas are that structure pri...
Deblurring is important in many visual systems. This paper presents a novel approach for nonstationary blurred image reconstruction with ringing reduction in a variational Bayesian...
Decision theory does not traditionally include uncertainty over utility functions. We argue that the a person's utility value for a given outcome can be treated as we treat o...
A new hierarchical nonparametric Bayesian model is proposed for the problem of multitask learning (MTL) with sequential data. Sequential data are typically modeled with a hidden M...
