A Probabilistic Framework for Nonlinearities in Stochastic Neural Networks

no code implementations NeurIPS 2017 Qinliang Su, Xuejun Liao, Lawrence Carin

We present a probabilistic framework for nonlinearities, based on doubly truncated Gaussian distributions.

Linear Feature Encoding for Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations NeurIPS 2016 Zhao Song, Ronald E. Parr, Xuejun Liao, Lawrence Carin

We then develop a supervised linear feature encoding method that is motivated by insights from linear value function approximation theory, as well as empirical successes from deep RL.

Unsupervised Learning with Truncated Gaussian Graphical Models

no code implementations15 Nov 2016 Qinliang Su, Xuejun Liao, Chunyuan Li, Zhe Gan, Lawrence Carin

Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) are widely used for statistical modeling, because of ease of inference and the ubiquitous use of the normal distribution in practical approximations.

Nonlinear Statistical Learning with Truncated Gaussian Graphical Models

no code implementations2 Jun 2016 Qinliang Su, Xuejun Liao, Changyou Chen, Lawrence Carin

We introduce the truncated Gaussian graphical model (TGGM) as a novel framework for designing statistical models for nonlinear learning.

Variational Gaussian Copula Inference

1 code implementation19 Jun 2015 Shaobo Han, Xuejun Liao, David B. Dunson, Lawrence Carin

We utilize copulas to constitute a unified framework for constructing and optimizing variational proposals in hierarchical Bayesian models.

Stick-Breaking Policy Learning in Dec-POMDPs

no code implementations1 May 2015 Miao Liu, Christopher Amato, Xuejun Liao, Lawrence Carin, Jonathan P. How

Expectation maximization (EM) has recently been shown to be an efficient algorithm for learning finite-state controllers (FSCs) in large decentralized POMDPs (Dec-POMDPs).

Compressive Sensing of Signals from a GMM with Sparse Precision Matrices

no code implementations NeurIPS 2014 Jianbo Yang, Xuejun Liao, Minhua Chen, Lawrence Carin

This paper is concerned with compressive sensing of signals drawn from a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) with sparse precision matrices.

Low-Cost Compressive Sensing for Color Video and Depth

no code implementations CVPR 2014 Xin Yuan, Patrick Llull, Xuejun Liao, Jianbo Yang, Guillermo Sapiro, David J. Brady, Lawrence Carin

A simple and inexpensive (low-power and low-bandwidth) modification is made to a conventional off-the-shelf color video camera, from which we recover {multiple} color frames for each of the original measured frames, and each of the recovered frames can be focused at a different depth.

Integrated Non-Factorized Variational Inference

no code implementations NeurIPS 2013 Shaobo Han, Xuejun Liao, Lawrence Carin

We present a non-factorized variational method for full posterior inference in Bayesian hierarchical models, with the goal of capturing the posterior variable dependencies via efficient and possibly parallel computation.

Learning to Explore and Exploit in POMDPs

no code implementations NeurIPS 2009 Chenghui Cai, Xuejun Liao, Lawrence Carin

In this paper we propose a dual-policy method for jointly learning the agent behavior and the balance between exploration exploitation, in partially observable environments.
