The multiple multiplicative factor model for collaborative filtering
We describe a class of causal, discrete latent variable models called Multiple Multiplicative Factor models (MMFs). A data vector is represented in the latent space as a vector of...

Generative Models for Fingerprint Individuality using Ridge Types
Generative models of pattern individuality attempt to represent the distribution of observed quantitative features, e.g., by learning parameters from a database, and then use such...
