Historical Analysis of Legal Opinions with a Sparse Mixed-Effects Latent Variable Model
We propose a latent variable model to enhance historical analysis of large corpora. This work extends prior work in topic modelling by incorporating metadata, and the interactions...

Single and sparse view 3D reconstruction by learning shape priors
In this paper, we aim to reconstruct free-form 3D models from only one or few silhouettes by learning the prior knowledge of a specific class of objects. Instead of heuristically...

Robust Approach to Abbreviating Terms: A Discriminative Latent Variable Model with Global Information
The present paper describes a robust approach for abbreviating terms. First, in order to incorporate non-local information into abbreviation generation tasks, we present both impl...

Comparing partitions of two sets of units based on the same variables
Abstract We propose a procedure based on a latent variable model for the comparison of two partitions of different units described by the same set of variables. The null hypothesis...

GTM: The Generative Topographic Mapping
Latent variable models represent the probability density of data in a space of several dimensions in terms of a smaller number of latent, or hidden, variables. A familiar example ...

Noisy-OR Component Analysis and its Application to Link Analysis
We develop a new component analysis framework, the Noisy-Or Component Analyzer (NOCA), that targets high-dimensional binary data. NOCA is a probabilistic latent variable model tha...

Bayesian estimation of time delays between unevenly sampled signals
A method for estimating time delays between signals that are irregularly sampled is presented. The approach is based on postulating a latent variable model from which the observed...

A Gaussian process latent variable model formulation of canonical correlation analysis
Abstract. We investigate a nonparametric model with which to visualize the relationship between two datasets. We base our model on Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models (GPLVM)[1...
