Hierarchical mixture of discriminative Generalized Dirichlet classifiers
This paper presents a discriminative classifier for compositional data. This classifier is based on the posterior distribution of the Generalized Dirichlet which is the discriminative counterpart of Generalized Dirichlet mixture model. Moreover, following the mixture of experts paradigm, we proposed a hierarchical mixture of this classifier. In order to learn the models parameters, we use a variational approximation by deriving an upper-bound for the Generalized Dirichlet mixture. To the best of our knownledge, this is the first time this bound is proposed in the literature. Experimental results are presented for spam detection and color space identification.

Non-Gaussian Discriminative Factor Models via the Max-Margin Rank-Likelihood
We consider the problem of discriminative factor analysis for data that are in general non-Gaussian. A Bayesian model based on the ranks of the data is proposed. We first introduce a new {\em max-margin} version of the r…
Spectral Methods for Nonparametric Models
Nonparametric models are versatile, albeit computationally expensive, tool for modeling mixture models. In this paper, we introduce spectral methods for the two most popular nonparametric models: the Indian Buffet Proces…
Hierarchical Dirichlet Scaling Process
We present the \textit{hierarchical Dirichlet scaling process} (HDSP), a Bayesian nonparametric mixed membership model. The HDSP generalizes the hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) to model the correlation structure bet…
ArticlesDirichlet 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…
ClusteringNested Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes for Multi-Level Non-Parametric Admixture Modeling
Dirichlet Process(DP) is a Bayesian non-parametric prior for infinite mixture modeling, where the number of mixture components grows with the number of data items. The Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP), is an extensio…
