Convex Relaxations of Latent Variable Training
We investigate a new, convex relaxation of an expectation-maximization (EM) variant that approximates a standard objective while eliminating local minima. First, a cautionary resu...

A Probabilistic Clustering-Projection Model for Discrete Data
For discrete co-occurrence data like documents and words, calculating optimal projections and clustering are two different but related tasks. The goal of projection is to find a ...

Combining Experiments to Discover Linear Cyclic Models with Latent Variables
We present an algorithm to infer causal relations between a set of measured variables on the basis of experiments on these variables. The algorithm assumes that the causal relatio...
