Latent dirichlet allocation

TLDR
This work proposes a generative model for text and other collections of discrete data that generalizes or improves on several previous models including naive Bayes/unigram, mixture of unigrams, and Hofmann's aspect model.
Abstract
We describe latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), a generative probabilistic model for collections of discrete data such as text corpora. LDA is a three-level hierarchical Bayesian model, in which each item of a collection is modeled as a finite mixture over an underlying set of topics. Each topic is, in turn, modeled as an infinite mixture over an underlying set of topic probabilities. In the context of text modeling, the topic probabilities provide an explicit representation of a document. We present efficient approximate inference techniques based on variational methods and an EM algorithm for empirical Bayes parameter estimation. We report results in document modeling, text classification, and collaborative filtering, comparing to a mixture of unigrams model and the probabilistic LSI model.

Slow Feature Analysis for Human Action Recognition

TL;DR: Experimental results suggest that the SFA-based approach is able to extract useful motion patterns and improves the recognition performance, requires less intermediate processing steps but achieves comparable or even better performance, and has good potential to recognize complex multiperson activities.

The Bayesian Case Model: A Generative Approach for Case-Based Reasoning and Prototype Classification

TL;DR: The Bayesian Case Model (BCM) as discussed by the authors is a general framework for Bayesian case-based reasoning and prototype classification and clustering, which learns prototypes, the "quintessential" observations that best represent clusters in a dataset.
