Importance tempering
Simulated tempering (ST) is an established Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methodology for sampling from a multimodal density π(θ). The technique involves introducing an auxilia...

Wormholes Improve Contrastive Divergence
In models that define probabilities via energies, maximum likelihood learning typically involves using Markov Chain Monte Carlo to sample from the model’s distribution. If the ...

Unifying Logical and Statistical AI
Intelligent agents must be able to handle the complexity and uncertainty of the real world. Logical AI has focused mainly on the former, and statistical AI on the latter. Markov l...

Particle methods for maximum likelihood estimation in latent variable models
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is ...

Blind restoration of blurred photographs via AR modelling and MCMC
We propose a new image and blur prior model, based on nonstationary autoregressive (AR) models, and use these to blindly deconvolve blurred photographic images, using the Gibbs sa...
