Mixtures of hierarchical topics with Pachinko allocation
The four-level pachinko allocation model (PAM) (Li & McCallum, 2006) represents correlations among topics using a DAG structure. It does not, however, represent a nested hiera...

Tailoring density estimation via reproducing kernel moment matching
Moment matching is a popular means of parametric density estimation. We extend this technique to nonparametric estimation of mixture models. Our approach works by embedding distri...

Clustering documents with an exponential-family approximation of the Dirichlet compound multinomial distribution
The Dirichlet compound multinomial (DCM) distribution, also called the multivariate Polya distribution, is a model for text documents that takes into account burstiness: the fact ...

Near-optimal sensor placements in Gaussian processes
When monitoring spatial phenomena, which are often modeled as Gaussian Processes (GPs), choosing sensor locations is a fundamental task. A common strategy is to place sensors at t...

Optimizing abstaining classifiers using ROC analysis
Classifiers that refrain from classification in certain cases can significantly reduce the misclassification cost. However, the parameters for such abstaining classifiers are ofte...
