Efficient Bayesian Parameter Estimation in Large Discrete Domains
In this paper we examine the problem of estimating the parameters of a multinomial distribution over a large number of discreteoutcomes,most of which do not appearin the training ...

Global Optimisation of Neural Network Models via Sequential Sampling
We propose a novel strategy for training neural networks using sequential Monte Carlo algorithms. This global optimisation strategy allows us to learn the probability distribution...

Learning to Estimate Scenes from Images
We seek the scene interpretation that best explains image data. For example, we may want to infer the projected velocities (scene) which best explain two consecutive image frames ...

Divisive Normalization, Line Attractor Networks and Ideal Observers
Gain control by divisive inhibition, a.k.a. divisive normalization, has been proposed to be a general mechanism throughout the visual cortex. We explore in this study the statisti...

Example-Based Image Synthesis of Articulated Figures
We present a method for learning complex appearance mappings, such as occur with images of articulated objects. Traditional interpolation networks fail on this case since appearan...

Facial Memory Is Kernel Density Estimation (Almost)
We compare the ability of three exemplar-based memory models, each using three different face stimulus representations, to account for the probability a human subject responded &q...

Dynamically Adapting Kernels in Support Vector Machines
The kernel-parameter is one of the few tunable parameters in Support Vector machines, controlling the complexity of the resulting hypothesis. Its choice amounts to model selection...

A Phase Space Approach to Minimax Entropy Learning and the Minutemax Approximations
There has been much recent work on measuring image statistics and on learning probability distributions on images. We observe that the mapping from images to statistics is many-to...

Fisher Scoring and a Mixture of Modes Approach for Approximate Inference and Learning in Nonlinear State Space Models
We present Monte-Carlo generalized EM equations for learning in nonlinear state space models. The dif
