Joint Analysis of Time-Evolving Binary Matrices and Associated Documents
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider problems for which one has incomplete binary matrices that evolve with time (e.g., the votes of legislators on particular legislation, with each year characterized by a different such matrix). An objective of such analysis is to infer structure and inter-relationships underlying the matrices, here defined by latent features associated with each axis of the matrix. In addition, it is assumed that documents are available for the entities associated with at least one of the matrix axes. By jointly analyzing the matrices and documents, one may be used to inform the other within the analysis, and the model offers the opportunity to predict matrix values (e.g., votes) based only on an associated document (e.g., legislation). The research presented here merges two areas of machine-learning that have previously been investigated separately: incomplete-matrix analysis and topic modeling. The analysis is performed from a Bayesian perspective, with efficient inference constituted via Gibbs sampling. The framework is demonstrated by considering all voting data and available documents (legislation) during the 220-year lifetime of the United States Senate and House of Representatives.

Potentials of Evolving Linear Models in Tracking Control Design for Nonlinear Variable Structure Systems
Evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. In this paper, potentials of the Evolving Linear Models (ELMs) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. At first, an ELM is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (SISO) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...
متن کاملJoint and Generalized Spectral Radius of Upper Triangular Matrices with Entries in a Unital Banach Algebra
In this paper, we discuss some properties of joint spectral {radius(jsr)} and generalized spectral radius(gsr) for a finite set of upper triangular matrices with entries in a Banach algebra and represent relation between geometric and joint/generalized spectral radius. Some of these are in scalar matrices, but some are different. For example for a bounded set of scalar matrices,$Sigma$, $r_*...
متن کاملJoint Modeling of a Matrix with Associated Text via Latent Binary Features
A new methodology is developed for joint analysis of a matrix and accompanying documents, with the documents associated with the matrix rows/columns. The documents are modeled with a focused topic model, inferring interpretable latent binary features for each document. A new matrix decomposition is developed, with latent binary features associated with the rows/columns, and with imposition of a...
متن کاملCartesian decomposition of matrices and some norm inequalities
Let X be an n-square complex matrix with the Cartesian decomposition X = A + i B, where A and B are n times n Hermitian matrices. It is known that $Vert X Vert_p^2 leq 2(Vert A Vert_p^2 + Vert B Vert_p^2)$, where $p geq 2$ and $Vert . Vert_p$ is the Schatten p-norm. In this paper, this inequality and some of its improvements ...
متن کاملProposing an effective approach for Network security and multimedia documents classically using encryption and watermarking
Local binary pattern (LBP) operators, which measure the local contrast within a pixel's neighborhood, successfully applied to texture analysis, visual inspection, and image retrieval. In this paper, we recommend a semi blind and informed watermarking approach. The watermark has been built from the original image using Weber Law. The approach aims is to present a high robustness and imperceptibi...
