In recent years there has been a flurry of works on learning Bayesian networks from data. One of the hard problems in this area is how to effectively learn the structure of a beli...
We study a generative model in which hidden causes combine competitively to produce observations. Multiple active causes combine to determine the value of an observed variable thr...
Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM) are well-studied generative models. For image data, however, standard RBMs are suboptimal, since they do not exploit the local nature of image ...
We propose a new model for the probabilistic estimation of continuous state variables from a sequence of observations, such as tracking the position of an object in video. This ma...
Conditional random fields (CRF) are widely used for predicting output variables that have some internal structure. Most of the CRF research has been done on structured classificati...
