Dependent Normalized Random Measures
In this paper we propose two constructions of dependent normalized random measures, a class of nonparametric priors over dependent probability measures. Our constructions, which we call mixed normalized random measures (MNRM) and thinned normalized random measures (TNRM), involve (respectively) weighting and thinning parts of a shared underlying Poisson process before combining them together. W...
متن کاملMCMC for Normalized Random Measure Mixture Models
This paper concerns the use of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for posterior sampling in Bayesian nonparametric mixture models with normalized random measure priors. Making use of some recent posterior characterizations for the class of normalized random measures, we propose novel Markov chain Monte Carlo methods of both marginal type and conditional type. The proposed marginal samplers are ge...
متن کاملTheory of Dependent Hierarchical Normalized Random Measures
This paper presents theory for Normalized Random Measures (NRMs), Normalized Generalized Gammas (NGGs), a particular kind of NRM, and Dependent Hierarchical NRMs which allow networks of dependent NRMs to be analysed. These have been used, for instance, for time-dependent topic modelling. In this paper, we first introduce some mathematical background of completely random measures (CRMs) and thei...
متن کاملSupplementary material for Dependent Normalized Random Measures
This is the supplementary material for the ICML 2013 paper Dependent Normalized Random Measures by the same authors. A. Notation & Preliminary We list some of the notation used in this paper in Table 1 for reminder. A.1. Definitions For completeness, we restate the definition of MNRM and TNRM. We are given a Poisson process on a product space R×Θ×R with intensity measure ν(dw,dθ,da) (we will us...
متن کاملSimplifying Cartographic Boundaries by Using a Normalized Measure of Ambiguity
| This paper presents a method for smoothing of noisy carto-graphic boundaries. The resulting smoothed description preserves the basic shape's structures of the contour while smoothing out noise as well as un-wanted detail. The performance of any simpliication method relies on the quality of the levels of smoothing that represent the structures present. In our formulation the most signiicant le...
