We cast model-free reinforcement learning as the problem of maximizing the likelihood of a probabilistic mixture model via sampling, addressing both the infinite and finite horizo...
Logic-based probabilistic models (LBPMs) enable us to handle problems with uncertainty succinctly thanks to the expressive power of logic. However, most of LBPMs have restrictions...
The dynamic texture (DT) is a probabilistic generative model, defined over space and time, that represents a video as the output of a linear dynamical system (LDS). The DT model ...
Due to the globalization on the Web, many companies and institutions need to efficiently organize and search repositories containing multilingual documents. The management of the...
We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...
