Parallelizing MCMC with Random Partition Trees

NeurIPS 2015poster

The modern scale of data has brought new challenges to Bayesian inference. In particular, conventional MCMC algorithms are computationally very expensive for large data sets. A promising approach to solve this problem is embarrassingly parallel MCMC (EP-MCMC), which first partitions the data into m…

The Bayesian Echo Chamber: Modeling Social Influence via Linguistic Accommodation

AISTATS 2015poster

We present the Bayesian Echo Chamber, a new Bayesian generative model for social interaction data. By modeling the evolution of people’s language usage over time, this model discovers latent influence relationships between them. Unlike previous work on inferring influence, which has primarily focuse…
