We present a simple new Monte Carlo algorithm for evaluating probabilities of observations in complex latent variable models, such as Deep Belief Networks. While the method is bas...
The context-independent deep belief network (DBN) hidden Markov model (HMM) hybrid architecture has recently achieved promising results for phone recognition. In this work, we pro...
Grid search and manual search are the most widely used strategies for hyper-parameter optimization. This paper shows empirically and theoretically that randomly chosen trials are ...
The use of statistical pattern recognition models to segment the left ventricle of the heart in ultrasound images has gained substantial attention over the last few years. The mai...
Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) — the building block for newly popular Deep Belief Networks (DBNs) — are a promising new tool for machine learning practitioners. However,...
