Modeling Human Motion Using Binary Latent Variables
We propose a non-linear generative model for human motion data that uses an undirected model with binary latent variables and real-valued “visible” variables that represent joint angles. The latent and visible variables at each time step receive directed connections from the visible variables at the last few time-steps. Such an architecture makes on-line inference efficient and allows us to use...
متن کاملBayesian modeling of embryonic growth using latent variables.
In a growth model, individuals move progressively through a series of states in which each state is indicative of developmental status. Interest lies in estimating the rate of progression through each state while incorporating covariates that might affect the transition rates. We develop a Bayesian discrete-time multistate growth model for inference from cross-sectional data with unknown initia...
متن کاملModeling Dependencies in Natural Languages with Latent Variables
Title of dissertation: MODELING DEPENDENCIES IN NATURAL LANGUAGES WITH LATENT VARIABLES Zhongqiang Huang, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Dissertation directed by: Professor Mary Harper Department Computer Science In this thesis, we investigate the use of latent variables to model complex dependencies in natural languages. Traditional models, which have a fixed parameterization, often make strong in...
متن کاملModeling Growth in Latent Variables Using a Piecewise Function.
Latent growth curve models with piecewise functions for continuous repeated measures data have become increasingly popular and versatile tools for investigating individual behavior that exhibits distinct phases of development in observed variables. As an extension of this framework, this research study considers a piecewise function for describing segmented change of a latent construct over tim...
متن کاملComparing groups on latent variables: a structural equation modeling approach.
Structural equation modeling (SEM) provides a dependable framework for testing differences among groups on latent variables (constructs, factors). The purpose of this article is to illustrate SEM-based testing for group mean differences on latent variables. Related procedures of confirmatory factor analysis and testing for measurement invariance across compared groups are also presented in the ...
