This paperconsidersthe problem of representingcomplex systems that evolve stochastically over time. Dynamic Bayesian networks provide a compact representation for stochastic proce...
Probabilistic latent semantic indexing (PLSI) represents documents of a collection as mixture proportions of latent topics, which are learned from the collection by an expectation...

We present a new unsupervised algorithm for training structured predictors that is discriminative, convex, and avoids the use of EM. The idea is to formulate an unsupervised versi...

This paper proposes the incremental Bayesian optimization algorithm (iBOA), which modifies standard BOA by removing the population of solutions and using incremental updates of t...
— We present K2GA, an algorithm for learning Bayesian network structures from data. K2GA uses a genetic algorithm to perform stochastic search, while employing a modified versio...
