Evaluating probabilities under high-dimensional latent variable models
We present a simple new Monte Carlo algorithm for evaluating probabilities of observations in complex latent variable models, such as Deep Belief Networks. While the method is bas...

Empirical performance maximization for linear rank statistics
The ROC curve is known to be the golden standard for measuring performance of a test/scoring statistic regarding its capacity of discrimination between two populations in a wide v...

Simple Local Models for Complex Dynamical Systems
We present a novel mathematical formalism for the idea of a "local model" of an uncontrolled dynamical system, a model that makes only certain predictions in only certai...

Online Prediction on Large Diameter Graphs
We continue our study of online prediction of the labelling of a graph. We show a fundamental limitation of Laplacian-based algorithms: if the graph has a large diameter then the ...

Theory of matching pursuit
We analyse matching pursuit for kernel principal components analysis (KPCA) by proving that the sparse subspace it produces is a sample compression scheme. We show that this bound...
