Topographic Transformation as a Discrete Latent Variable
Invariance to topographic transformations such as translation and shearing in an image has been successfully incorporated into feedforward mechanisms, e.g., "convolutional neural networks", "tangent propagation". We describe a way to add transformation invariance to a generative density model by approximating the nonlinear transformation manifold by a discrete set of transformations. An EM algo...
متن کاملProbabilistic Latent Variable Models as Nonnegative Factorizations
This paper presents a family of probabilistic latent variable models that can be used for analysis of nonnegative data. We show that there are strong ties between nonnegative matrix factorization and this family, and provide some straightforward extensions which can help in dealing with shift invariances, higher-order decompositions and sparsity constraints. We argue through these extensions th...
متن کاملThe Ising distribution as a latent variable model
We show that the Ising distribution can be treated as a latent variable model, where a set of N realvalued, correlated random variables ri are drawn and used to generate N binary spins independently. This allows to approximate the Ising distribution by a simpler model where the latent variables ri follow a multivariate normal distribution. The resulting approximation bears similarities with the...
متن کاملLatent Variable Modelling: A Survey*
Latent variable modelling has gradually become an integral part of mainstream statistics and is currently used for a multitude of applications in different subject areas. Examples of ‘traditional’ latent variable models include latent class models, item–response models, common factor models, structural equation models, mixed or random effects models and covariate measurement error models. Altho...
متن کاملA Latent-Variable Lattice Model
Markov random field (MRF) learning is intractable, and the approximation algorithms are computationally expensive. Since only a small subset of MRF is used frequently in computer vision, we characterize this subset with three concepts: (1) Lattice, (2) Homogeneity, and (3) Inertia; and design a non-markov high-bias low-variance model as an alternative to this subclass of MRF. Our goal is robust...
