We develop approximate inference and learning methods for facilitating the use of probabilistic modeling techniques motivated by applications in two different areas. First, we consider the ill-posed inverse problem of recovering an image from an underdeter ...
We consider online predictions of vote results, where regions across a country vote on an issue under discussion. Such online predictions before and during the day of the vote are useful to media agencies, polling institutes, and political parties, e.g., t ...
Mean Field inference is central to statistical physics. It has attracted much interest in the Computer Vision community to efficiently solve problems expressible in terms of large Conditional Random Fields. However, since it models the posterior probabilit ...
Liouville copulas introduced in McNeil and Ne lehova (2010) are asymmetric generalizations of the ubiquitous Archimedean copula class. They are the dependence structures of scale mixtures of Dirichlet distributions, also called Liouville distributions. In ...
The i-vector and Joint Factor Analysis (JFA) systems for text- dependent speaker verification use sufficient statistics computed from a speech utterance to estimate speaker models. These statis- tics average the acoustic information over the utterance ther ...
Adapting statistical learning models online with large scale streaming data is a challenging problem. Bayesian non-parametric mixture models provide flexibility in model selection, however, their widespread use is limited by the computational overhead of e ...
Appropriate model assessment requires proper understanding of the impact of variations of model parameters and their interactions on results. However, in many thermal-hydraulic (TH) simulations, the code often predicts time-dependent output where the impac ...

In this paper, we investigate the semi-tied Gaussian mixture models for robust learning and adaptation of robot manipulation tasks. We make use of the spatial and temporal correlation in the data by tying the covariance matrices of the mixture model with c ...
