Retrieved context and the discovery of semantic structure
Semantic memory refers to our knowledge of facts and relationships between concepts. A successful semantic memory depends on inferring relationships between items that are not exp...

Predictive Matrix-Variate t Models
It is becoming increasingly important to learn from a partially-observed random matrix and predict its missing elements. We assume that the entire matrix is a single sample drawn ...

Using Deep Belief Nets to Learn Covariance Kernels for Gaussian Processes
We show how to use unlabeled data and a deep belief net (DBN) to learn a good covariance kernel for a Gaussian process. We first learn a deep generative model of the unlabeled da...

A Kernel Statistical Test of Independence
Although kernel measures of independence have been widely applied in machine learning (notably in kernel ICA), there is as yet no method to determine whether they have detected st...

An Analysis of Inference with the Universum
We study a pattern classification algorithm which has recently been proposed by Vapnik and coworkers. It builds on a new inductive principle which assumes that in addition to pos...

Estimating divergence functionals and the likelihood ratio by penalized convex risk minimization
We develop and analyze an algorithm for nonparametric estimation of divergence functionals and the density ratio of two probability distributions. Our method is based on a variati...
