Noisy-OR Models with Latent Confounding
Given a set of experiments in which varying subsets of observed variables are subject to intervention, we consider the problem of identifiability of causal models exhibiting late...

Convolutional Factor Graphs as Probabilistic Models
Based on a recent development in the area of error control coding, we introduce the notion of convolutional factor graphs (CFGs) as a new class of probabilistic graphical models. ...

Greedy Learning of Binary Latent Trees
—Inferring latent structures from observations helps to model and possibly also understand underlying data generating processes. A rich class of latent structures are the latent ...

Learning Mixture Models with the Latent Maximum Entropy Principle
We present a new approach to estimating mixture models based on a new inference principle we have proposed: the latent maximum entropy principle (LME). LME is different both from ...

Distinguishing between cause and effect
We propose a novel method for inferring whether X causes Y or vice versa from joint observations of X and Y . The basic idea is to model the observed data using probabilistic late...
