Pachinko allocation: DAG-structured mixture models of topic correlations
Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and other related topic models are increasingly popular tools for summarization and manifold discovery in discrete data. However, LDA does not ca...

Nonstationary kernel combination
The power and popularity of kernel methods stem in part from their ability to handle diverse forms of structured inputs, including vectors, graphs and strings. Recently, several m...

Efficient MAP approximation for dense energy functions
We present an efficient method for maximizing energy functions with first and second order potentials, suitable for MAP labeling estimation problems that arise in undirected graph...

Using query-specific variance estimates to combine Bayesian classifiers
Many of today's best classification results are obtained by combining the responses of a set of base classifiers to produce an answer for the query. This paper explores a nov...

Simpler knowledge-based support vector machines
If appropriately used, prior knowledge can significantly improve the predictive accuracy of learning algorithms or reduce the amount of training data needed. In this paper we intr...

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...

Autonomous shaping: knowledge transfer in reinforcement learning
We introduce the use of learned shaping rewards in reinforcement learning tasks, where an agent uses prior experience on a sequence of tasks to learn a portable predictor that est...

Learning low-rank kernel matrices
Kernel learning plays an important role in many machine learning tasks. However, algorithms for learning a kernel matrix often scale poorly, with running times that are cubic in t...

Multiclass boosting with repartitioning
A multiclass classification problem can be reduced to a collection of binary problems with the aid of a coding matrix. The quality of the final solution, which is an ensemble of b...

Fast particle smoothing: if I had a million particles
We propose efficient particle smoothing methods for generalized state-spaces models. Particle smoothing is an expensive O(N2 ) algorithm, where N is the number of particles. We ov...
