We show how features can easily be added to standard generative models for unsupervised learning, without requiring complex new training methods. In particular, each component mul...

We utilize the ensemble of trees framework, a tractable mixture over superexponential number of tree-structured distributions [1], to develop a new model for multivariate density ...
Due to the large variation and richness of visual inputs, statistical learning gets more and more concerned in the practice of visual processing such as visual tracking and recogn...
Traditional non-parametric statistical learning techniques are often computationally attractive, but lack the same generalization and model selection abilities as state-of-the-art...
Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. There are...
