Learning stick-figure models using nonparametric Bayesian priors over trees
We present a fully probabilistic stick-figure model that uses a nonparametric Bayesian distribution over trees for its structure prior. Sticks are represented by nodes in a tree i...

Bayesian Student Models Based on Item to Item Knowledge Structures
Bayesian networks are commonly used in cognitive student modeling and assessment. They typically represent the item-concepts relationships, where items are observable responses to ...

Directly optimizing evaluation measures in learning to rank
One of the central issues in learning to rank for information retrieval is to develop algorithms that construct ranking models by directly optimizing evaluation measures used in i...

Structural Learning of Activities from Sparse Datasets
Abstract. A major challenge in pervasive computing is to learn activity patterns, such as bathing and cleaning from sensor data. Typical sensor deployments generate sparse datasets...

PCFGs, Topic Models, Adaptor Grammars and Learning Topical Collocations and the Structure of Proper Names
This paper establishes a connection between two apparently very different kinds of probabilistic models. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) models are used as "topic models&qu...
