We show that it is possible to extend hidden Markov models to have a countably infinite number of hidden states. By using the theory of Dirichlet processes we can implicitly integ...

We present a convex formulation of dictionary learning for sparse signal decomposition. Convexity is obtained by replacing the usual explicit upper bound on the dictionary size by...
By applying recent results in optimization theory variously known as optimization transfer or majorize/minimize algorithms, an algorithm for binary, kernel, Fisher discriminant ana...
Graphical models are well established in providing compact conditional probability descriptions of complex multivariable interactions. In the Gaussian case, graphical models are d...
Clustering is a basic task in a variety of machine learning applications. Partitioning a set of input vectors into compact, wellseparated subsets can be severely affected by the p...
