Bayesian learning in undirected graphical models--computing posterior distributions over parameters and predictive quantities-is exceptionally difficult. We conjecture that for ge...
Abstract. A nonparametric Bayesian extension of Independent Components Analysis (ICA) is proposed where observed data Y is modelled as a linear superposition, G, of a potentially i...
A new approach for overcoming broken ergodicity in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations of complex systems is described. The problem of broken ergodicity is often present i...
Abstract. We use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) MML algorithm to learn hybrid Bayesian networks from observational data. Hybrid networks represent local structure, using conditi...
Crowding is a technique used in genetic algorithms to preserve diversity in the population and to prevent premature convergence to local optima. It consists of pairing each offsp...
