Infinite Mixtures of Gaussian Process Experts
We present an extension to the Mixture of Experts (ME) model, where the individual experts are Gaussian Process (GP) regression models. Using an input-dependent adaptation of the ...

Scaling Laws and Local Minima in Hebbian ICA
We study the dynamics of a Hebbian ICA algorithm extracting a single non-Gaussian component from a high-dimensional Gaussian background. For both on-line and batch learning we fin...
