Recommender systems enable service providers to predict and address the individual needs of their customers so as to deliver personalized experiences. In this paper, we formulate the recommendation problem as an inference problem on a Pairwise Markov Rando ...
The linear model with sparsity-favouring prior on the coefficients has important applications in many different domains. In machine learning, most methods to date search for maximum a posteriori sparse solutions and neglect to represent posterior uncertain ...
The goal of the present thesis was to investigate and optimize different approaches towards User-Customized Password Speaker Verification (UCP-SV) systems. In such systems, users can choose their own passwords, which will be subsequently used for verificat ...
Latent Gaussian models (LGMs) are widely used in statistics and machine learning. Bayesian inference in non-conjugate LGMs is difficult due to intractable integrals in- volving the Gaussian prior and non-conjugate likelihoods. Algorithms based on variation ...
In this thesis, we investigate the use of posterior probabilities of sub-word units directly as input features for automatic speech recognition (ASR). These posteriors, estimated from data-driven methods, display some favourable properties such as increase ...
Probabilistic matrix factorization methods aim to extract meaningful correlation structure from an incomplete data matrix by postulating low rank constraints. Recently, variational Bayesian (VB) inference techniques have successfully been applied to such l ...

Neurofeedback based on real-time fMRI is an emerging technique that can be used to train voluntary control of brain activity. Such brain training has been shown to lead to behavioral effects that are specific to the functional role of the targeted brain ar ...
Composite likelihoods are increasingly used in applications where the full likelihood is analytically unknown or computationally prohibitive. Although some frequentist properties of the maximum composite likelihood estimator are akin to those of the maximu ...
