Chinese Restaurant Process for cognate clustering: A threshold free approach
In this paper, we introduce a threshold free approach, motivated from Chinese Restaurant Process, for the purpose of cognate clustering. We show that our approach yields similar results to a linguistically motivated cognate clustering system known as LexStat. Our Chinese Restaurant Process system is fast and does not require any threshold and can be applied to any language family of the world.

Similarity Dependent Chinese Restaurant Process for Cognate Identification in Multilingual Wordlists
We present and evaluate two similarity dependent Chinese Restaurant Process (sd-CRP) algorithms at the task of automated cognate detection. The sd-CRP clustering algorithms do not require any predefined threshold for det…
ClusteringLanguage IdentificationReducing over-clustering via the powered Chinese restaurant process
Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) models tend to produce many small clusters regardless of whether they are needed to accurately characterize the data - this is particularly true for large data sets. However, interpretabil…
ClusteringTemporally-Reweighted Chinese Restaurant Process Mixtures for Clustering, Imputing, and Forecasting Multivariate Time Series
This article proposes a Bayesian nonparametric method for forecasting, imputation, and clustering in sparsely observed, multivariate time series data. The method is appropriate for jointly modeling hundreds of time serie…

One of the most used priors in Bayesian clustering is the Dirichlet prior. It can be expressed as a Chinese Restaurant Process. This process allows nonparametric estimation of the number of clusters when partitioning dat…
ClusteringDirichlet Fragmentation Processes
Tree structures are ubiquitous in data across many domains, and many datasets are naturally modelled by unobserved tree structures. In this paper, first we review the theory of random fragmentation processes [Bertoin, 20…
