1. Shared Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models
Sammanfattning : A fundamental task in machine learning is modeling the relationship between different observation spaces. Dimensionality reduction is the task of reducing thenumber of dimensions in a parameterization of a data-set. In this thesis we areinterested in the cross-road between these two tasks: shared dimensionality reduction. LÄS MER
2. Learning local predictive accuracy for expert evaluation and forecast combination
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers that study several topics related to expert evaluation and aggregation. Paper I explores the properties of Bayes factors. Bayes factors, which are used for Bayesian hypothesis testing as well as to aggregate models using Bayesian model averaging, are sometimes observed to behave erratically. LÄS MER
3. Holistic Grasping: Affordances, Grasp Semantics, Task Constraints
Sammanfattning : Most of us perform grasping actions over a thousand times per day without giving it much consideration, be it from driving to drinking coffee. Learning robots the same ease when it comes to grasping has been a goal for the robotics research community for decades. LÄS MER
4. Identification of Stochastic Nonlinear Dynamical Models Using Estimating Functions
Sammanfattning : Data-driven modeling of stochastic nonlinear systems is recognized as a very challenging problem, even when reduced to a parameter estimation problem. A main difficulty is the intractability of the likelihood function, which renders favored estimation methods, such as the maximum likelihood method, analytically intractable. LÄS MER
5. Spatial Mixture Models with Applications in Medical Imaging and Spatial Point Processes
Sammanfattning : Finite mixture models have proven to be a great tool for both modeling non-standard probability distributions and for classification problems (using the latent variable interpretation). In this thesis we are building spatial models by incorporating spatially dependent categorical latent random fields in a hierarchical manner similar to that of finite mixture models. LÄS MER
