Nonparametric Bayesian inference of item-level features in classifier combination

UAI 2025

In classification tasks, examples belonging to the same class can often still differ substantially from one another, and being able to capture such heterogeneity and its impact on classification can be important for aggregating estimates across multiple classifiers. Bayesian models developed so far

Partition Functions from Rao-Blackwellized Tempered Sampling

ICML 2016poster

Partition functions of probability distributions are important quantities for model evaluation and comparisons. We present a new method to compute partition functions of complex and multimodal distributions. Such distributions are often sampled using simulated tempering, which augments the target sp…
