Bayesian regularization of non-homogeneous dynamic Bayesian networks by globally coupling interaction parameters
To relax the homogeneity assumption of classical dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs), various recent studies have combined DBNs with multiple changepoint processes. The underlying as...

Universal Measurement Bounds for Structured Sparse Signal Recovery
Standard compressive sensing results state that to exactly recover an s sparse signal in Rp , one requires O(s · log p) measurements. While this bound is extremely useful in prac...

Approximate Inference in Additive Factorial HMMs with Application to Energy Disaggregation
This paper considers additive factorial hidden Markov models, an extension to HMMs where the state factors into multiple independent chains, and the output is an additive function...

Globally Optimizing Graph Partitioning Problems Using Message Passing
Graph partitioning algorithms play a central role in data analysis and machine learning. Most useful graph partitioning criteria correspond to optimizing a ratio between the cut a...

Lifted coordinate descent for learning with trace-norm regularization
We consider the minimization of a smooth loss with trace-norm regularization, which is a natural objective in multi-class and multitask learning. Even though the problem is convex...
