Model Selection for Kernel Probit Regression
Abstract. The convex optimisation problem involved in fitting a kernel probit regression (KPR) model can be solved efficiently via an iteratively re-weighted least-squares (IRWLS)...

Deterministic Latent Variable Models and Their Pitfalls
We derive a number of well known deterministic latent variable models such as PCA, ICA, EPCA, NMF and PLSA as variational EM approximations with point posteriors. We show that the...

Variational inference for Markov jump processes
Markov jump processes play an important role in a large number of application domains. However, realistic systems are analytically intractable and they have traditionally been ana...

A Limited-Memory Multipoint Symmetric Secant Method for Bound Constrained Optimization
A new algorithm for solving smooth large-scale minimization problems with bound constraints is introduced. The way of dealing with active constraints is similar to the one used in...

Viterbi Training for PCFGs: Hardness Results and Competitiveness of Uniform Initialization
We consider the search for a maximum likelihood assignment of hidden derivations and grammar weights for a probabilistic context-free grammar, the problem approximately solved by ...
