We propose a novel dependent hierarchical Pitman-Yor process model for discrete data. An incremental Monte Carlo inference procedure for this model is developed. We show that infe...
Selection bias, caused by preferential exclusion of samples from the data, is a major obstacle to valid causal and statistical inferences; it cannot be removed by randomized exper...
Inferring 3D body pose as well as viewpoint from a single silhouette image is a challenging problem. We present a new generative model to represent shape deformations according to...
We propose inferring functional connectivity between brain regions by examining the spatial modulation of the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signals within brain regions of i...
Method inheritance and data abstraction are central features of objectoriented programming that are attained through a hierarchical organization of classes. Recent studies have sh...
