A permutation-augmented sampler for DP mixture models
We introduce a new inference algorithm for Dirichlet process mixture models. While Gibbs sampling and variational methods focus on local moves, the new algorithm makes more global...

Using Gaussian Processes to Optimize Expensive Functions
The task of finding the optimum of some function f(x) is commonly accomplished by generating and testing sample solutions iteratively, choosing each new sample x heuristically on t...

Collective Inference on Markov Models for Modeling Bird Migration
We investigate a family of inference problems on Markov models, where many sample paths are drawn from a Markov chain and partial information is revealed to an observer who attemp...

Efficient Algorithms to Explore Conformation Spaces of Flexible Protein Loops
Two efficient and complementary sampling algorithms are presented to explore the space of closed clash-free conformations of a flexible protein loop. The "seed sampling" ...

Active Sequential Learning with Tactile Feedback
We consider the problem of tactile discrimination, with the goal of estimating an underlying state parameter in a sequential setting. If the data is continuous and highdimensional...
