Continuous Sigmoidal Belief Networks Trained using Slice Sampling
Real-valued random hidden variables can be useful for modelling latent structure that explains correlations among observed variables. I propose a simple unit that adds zero-mean G...

Sampling directed graphs with random walks
Abstract—Despite recent efforts to characterize complex networks such as citation graphs or online social networks (OSNs), little attention has been given to developing tools tha...

A Rotation Test to Verify Latent Structure
We consider here how to tell whether a latent variable that has been estimated in a multivariate regression context might be real. Often a followup investigation will find a real...

Exploiting syntactic, semantic and lexical regularities in language modeling via directed Markov random fields
We present a directed Markov random field (MRF) model that combines n-gram models, probabilistic context free grammars (PCFGs) and probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) fo...

Robust Matrix Decomposition with Outliers
Suppose a given observation matrix can be decomposed as the sum of a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix (outliers), and the goal is to recover these individual components from th...
