PLSO: A generative framework for decomposing nonstationary time-series into piecewise stationary oscillatory components

UAI 2021poster

To capture the slowly time-varying spectral content of real-world time-series, a common paradigm is to partition the data into approximately stationary intervals and perform inference in the time-frequency domain. However, this approach lacks a corresponding nonstationary time-domain generative mode…

Convolutional dictionary learning based auto-encoders for natural exponential-family distributions

ICML 2020poster

We introduce a class of auto-encoder neural networks tailored to data from the natural exponential family (e.g., count data). The architectures are inspired by the problem of learning the filters in a convolutional generative model with sparsity constraints, often referred to as convolutional dictio…

Clustering Time Series with Nonlinear Dynamics: A Bayesian Non-Parametric and Particle-Based Approach

AISTATS 2019poster

We propose a general statistical framework for clustering multiple time series that exhibit nonlinear dynamics into an a-priori-unknown number of sub-groups. Our motivation comes from neuroscience, where an important problem is to identify, within a large assembly of neurons, subsets that respond si…
