Learning the structure of probabilistic graphical models for complex real-valued domains is a formidable computational challenge. This inevitably leads to significant modelling compromises such as discretization or the use of a simplistic Gaussian representation. In this work we address the challenge of efficiently learning truly expressive copula-based networks that facilitate a mix of varied ...

UNLABELLED This study examined the effects of relaxation training and syntax stimulation on the spoken language abilities of a 59-year-old male with chronic, nonfluent aphasia of moderate severity. Relaxation training consisted of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and guided imagery (GI), whereas the syntax stimulation was a modified version of the Helm Elicited Program for Syntax Stimulation...
