We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
Principal components analysis (PCA) is one of the most widely used techniques in machine learning and data mining. Minor components analysis (MCA) is less well known, but can also...

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. As s...

The algebra of communicating shared resources (ACSR) is a timed process algebra which extends classical process algebras with the notion of a resource. It takes the view that the ...
Approximate Bayesian Gaussian process (GP) classification techniques are powerful nonparametric learning methods, similar in appearance and performance to support vector machines....
