The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a widely used maximum likelihood estimation procedure for statistical models when the values of some of the variables in the model a...
This paper describes a high performance sampling architecture for inference of latent topic models on a cluster of workstations. Our system is faster than previous work by over an...
Often when modeling structured domains, it is desirable to leverage information that is not naturally expressed as simply a label. Examples include knowledge about the evaluation ...
Inference of latent variables from complicated data is one important problem in data mining. The high dimensionality and high complexity of real world data often make accurate infe...
Assume that cause-effect relationships between variables can be described as a directed acyclic graph and the corresponding linear structural equation model We consider the identi...
