Adaptor grammars (Johnson et al., 2007b) are a non-parametric Bayesian extension of Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars (PCFGs) which in effect learn the probabilities of entire s...
Mining for outliers in sequential databases is crucial to forward appropriate analysis of data. Therefore, many approaches for the discovery of such anomalies have been proposed. ...
We describe how simple, commonly understood statistical models, such as statistical dependency parsers, probabilistic context-free grammars, and word-to-word translation models, c...
A serious problem in learning probabilistic models is the presence of hidden variables. These variables are not observed, yet interact with several of the observed variables. Dete...
We present a new domain for unsupervised learning: automatically customizing the computer to a specific melodic performer by merely listening to them improvise. We also describe B...
