We introduce dynamic correlated topic models (DCTM) for analyzing discrete data over time. This model is inspired by the hierarchical Gaussian process latent variable models (GP-L...
In this work, we discuss practical methods for the assessment, comparison, and selection of complex hierarchical Bayesian models. A natural way to assess the goodness of the model...
Abstract— This paper proposes a simulation-based active policy learning algorithm for finite-horizon, partially-observed sequential decision processes. The algorithm is tested i...

Selection of an optimal estimator typically relies on either supervised training samples (pairs of measurements and their associated true values), or a prior probability model for...
Pointing gestures are a common and intuitive way to draw somebody’s attention to a certain object. While humans can easily interpret robot gestures, the perception of human beha...
