Supervised Topic Models
We introduce supervised latent Dirichlet allocation (sLDA), a statistical model of labelled documents. The model accommodates a variety of response types. We derive a maximum-like...

Density Estimation under Independent Similarly Distributed Sampling Assumptions
A method is proposed for semiparametric estimation where parametric and nonparametric criteria are exploited in density estimation and unsupervised learning. This is accomplished ...

Sparse Overcomplete Latent Variable Decomposition of Counts Data
An important problem in many fields is the analysis of counts data to extract meaningful latent components. Methods like Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) and Latent ...

Structured Learning with Approximate Inference
In many structured prediction problems, the highest-scoring labeling is hard to compute exactly, leading to the use of approximate inference methods. However, when inference is us...

Regularized Boost for Semi-Supervised Learning
Semi-supervised inductive learning concerns how to learn a decision rule from a data set containing both labeled and unlabeled data. Several boosting algorithms have been extended...

Rapid Inference on a Novel AND/OR graph for Object Detection, Segmentation and Parsing
In this paper we formulate a novel AND/OR graph representation capable of describing the different configurations of deformable articulated objects such as horses. The representa...

Receptive Fields without Spike-Triggering
Stimulus selectivity of sensory neurons is often characterized by estimating their receptive field properties such as orientation selectivity. Receptive fields are usually deriv...
