Deep Learning Made Easier by Linear Transformations in Perceptrons
We transform the outputs of each hidden neuron in a multi-layer perceptron network to have zero output and zero slope on average, and use separate shortcut connections to model th...

Markov Logic Mixtures of Gaussian Processes: Towards Machines Reading Regression Data
We propose a novel mixtures of Gaussian processes model in which the gating function is interconnected with a probabilistic logical model, in our case Markov logic networks. In th...

Conditional Likelihood Maximisation: A Unifying Framework for Information Theoretic Feature Selection
We present a unifying framework for information theoretic feature selection, bringing almost two decades of research on heuristic filter criteria under a single theoretical inter...

Graphlet decomposition of a weighted network
We introduce the graphlet decomposition of a weighted network, which encodes a notion of social information based on social structure. We develop a scalable algorithm, which combi...

Bayesian Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithms on Single and Multiple Datasets
We propose a new method for comparing learning algorithms on multiple tasks which is based on a novel non-parametric test that we call the Poisson binomial test. The key aspect of...

Robust Multi-task Regression with Grossly Corrupted Observations
We consider the multiple-response regression problem, where the response is subject to sparse gross errors, in the high-dimensional setup. We propose a tractable regularized M-est...

Adaptive MCMC with Bayesian Optimization
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to nondifferentiable objective functions and trades off explor...

Bayesian Quadrature for Ratios
We describe a novel approach to quadrature for ratios of probabilistic integrals, such as are used to compute posterior probabilities. This approach offers performance superior t...

Age-Layered Expectation Maximization for Parameter Learning in Bayesian Networks
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular algorithm for parameter estimation in models with hidden variables. However, the algorithm has several non-trivial limitat...
