Incorporating domain knowledge into topic modeling via Dirichlet Forest priors
Users of topic modeling methods often have knowledge about the composition of words that should have high or low probability in various topics. We incorporate such domain knowledg...

Tailoring density estimation via reproducing kernel moment matching
Moment matching is a popular means of parametric density estimation. We extend this technique to nonparametric estimation of mixture models. Our approach works by embedding distri...

The dynamic hierarchical Dirichlet process
The dynamic hierarchical Dirichlet process (dHDP) is developed to model the timeevolving statistical properties of sequential data sets. The data collected at any time point are r...

Implicit surface modelling as an eigenvalue problem
We discuss the problem of fitting an implicit shape model to a set of points sampled from a co-dimension one manifold of arbitrary topology. The method solves a non-convex optimis...

Split variational inference
We propose a deterministic method to evaluate the integral of a positive function based on soft-binning functions that smoothly cut the integral into smaller integrals that are ea...
