Robust Evaluation of Topic Models
James R. Foulds,Padhraic Smyth +1 more
TL;DR: A new strategy for computing relative log-likelihood (or perplexity) scores of topic models, based on annealed importance sampling is proposed, which has smaller Monte Carlo error than previous approaches, leading to marked improvements in both accuracy and computation time.
Inference in Directed Acyclic Graphs with Applications to Hidden Markov Model Structures
TL;DR: Graphical techniques for modeling the dependencies of random variables have been explored in a number of studies on the reinforcement learning of reinforcement learning.

Unifying the Dropout Family Through Structured Shrinkage Priors
Eric Nalisnick,Padhraic Smyth +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that multiplicative noise induces structured shrinkage priors on a network's weights, and it is derived that dropout's usual Monte Carlo training objective approximates marginal MAP estimation.

Can I Trust My Fairness Metric? Assessing Fairness with Unlabeled Data and Bayesian Inference
TL;DR: This article proposed a general Bayesian framework that can augment labeled data with unlabeled data to produce more accurate and lower-variance estimates compared to methods based on labeled data alone.
