Probabilistic latent semantic analysis

Probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA), also known as probabilistic latent semantic indexing (PLSI, especially in information retrieval circles) is a statistical technique for the analysis of two-mode and co-occurrence data. In effect, one can derive a low-dimensional representation of the observed variables in terms of their affinity to certain hidden variables, just as in latent semantic analysis, from which PLSA evolved. Compared to standard latent semantic analysis which stems from linear algebra and downsizes the occurrence tables (usually via a singular value decomposition), probabilistic latent semantic analysis is based on a mixture decomposition derived from a latent class model. (Wikipedia).

Probabilistic logic programming and its applications - Luc De Raedt, Leuven

Probabilistic programs combine the power of programming languages with that of probabilistic graphical models. There has been a lot of progress in this paradigm over the past twenty years. This talk will introduce probabilistic logic programming languages, which are based on Sato's distrib

Suqi Liu (Princeton) -- A probabilistic view of latent space graphs and phase transitions

In this talk, I will present a probabilistic view of random graphs with latent geometric structure. By choosing a natural variance parameter, we show phase transitions of losing geometry in these graphs. The proofs make use of information-theoretic inequalities and concentration of measure

Truth Conditional Meaning in Model Theory (Fragment F1) - Semantics in Linguistics

We introduce the model theory of fragment F1 in Chierchia and McConnel-Ginet (2000)'s book on #semantics in #linguistics. We cover the meaning of proper nouns, intransitive verbs, transitive verbs, negation, and conjunctions, as well as how to derive meaning of larger constituents. We do a

Lecture 19: Generative Models I

Lecture 19 is the first of two lectures about generative models. We compare supervised and unsupervised learning, and also compare discriminative vs generative models. We discuss autoregressive generative models that explicitly model densities, including PixelRNN and PixelCNN. We discuss a
