Many problems require repeated inference on probabilistic graphical models, with different values for evidence variables or other changes. Examples of such problems include utilit...
clustering of documents according to sharing of topics at multiple levels of abstraction. Given a corpus of documents, a posterior inference algorithm finds an approximation to a ...

We consider the problem of learning Gaussian multiresolution (MR) models in which data are only available at the finest scale and the coarser, hidden variables serve both to captu...

Continuous-time Bayesian networks is a natural structured representation language for multicomponent stochastic processes that evolve continuously over time. Despite the compact r...
We propose to solve the combinatorial problem of finding the highest scoring Bayesian network structure from data. This structure learning problem can be viewed as an inference pr...
