A latent variable model for query expansion using the hidden markov model
We propose a novel probabilistic method based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to learn the structure of a Latent Variable Model (LVM) for query language modeling. In the proposed...

Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models for Human Pose Estimation
We describe a method for recovering 3D human body pose from silhouettes. Our model is based on learning a latent space using the Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model (GP-LVM) [1]...

Modeling Human Locomotion with Topologically Constrained Latent Variable Models
Abstract. Learned, activity-specific motion models are useful for human pose and motion estimation. Nevertheless, while the use of activityspecific models simplifies monocular t...

Sparse and shift-invariant feature extraction from non-negative data
In this paper we describe a technique that allows the extraction of multiple local shift-invariant features from analysis of non-negative data of arbitrary dimensionality. Our app...

Speech-Driven Facial Animation Using a Shared Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model
Abstract. In this work, synthesis of facial animation is done by modelling the mapping between facial motion and speech using the shared Gaussian process latent variable model. Bot...

Local distance preservation in the GP-LVM through back constraints
The Gaussian process latent variable model (GP-LVM) is a generative approach to nonlinear low dimensional embedding, that provides a smooth probabilistic mapping from latent to da...

Topologically-constrained latent variable models
In dimensionality reduction approaches, the data are typically embedded in a Euclidean latent space. However for some data sets this is inappropriate. For example, in human motion...

Multifactor Gaussian process models for style-content separation
We introduce models for density estimation with multiple, hidden, continuous factors. In particular, we propose a generalization of multilinear models using nonlinear basis functi...

The Joint Manifold Model for Semi-supervised Multi-valued Regression
Many computer vision tasks may be expressed as the problem of learning a mapping between image space and a parameter space. For example, in human body pose estimation, recent rese...
