Expectations, Learning and Macroeconomic Persistence
- Journal of Monetary Economics
, 2007
"... Abstract. This paper presents an estimated model with learning and provides evidence that learning can improve the …t of popular monetary DSGE models and endogenously generate realistic levels of persistence. The paper starts with an agnostic view, developing a model that nests learning and some of ..."

of the learning gain coe ¢ cient jointly with the ‘deep’parameters of the economy. The empirical results show that when learning replaces rational expectations, the estimated degrees of habits and indexation drop near zero. This …nding suggests that persistence arises in the model economy mainly from expectations
Gaussian processes for machine learning
- International Journal of Neural Systems
, 2004
"... Gaussian processes (GPs) are natural generalisations of multivariate Gaussian random variables to infinite (countably or continuous) index sets. GPs have been applied in a large number of fields to a diverse range of ends, and very many deep theoretical analyses of various properties are available. ..."

. This paper gives an introduction to Gaussian processes on a fairly elementary level with special emphasis on characteristics relevant in machine learning. It draws explicit connections to branches such as spline smoothing models and support vector machines in which similar ideas have been investigated
Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

Deep Language and Persistent Culture: Learning to Speak the “Tongue of the Orichas ” in Cuban Santería
"... My concern in this paper is to explore how religious practitioners ’ approaches to learning, using, and interpreting Santería’s esoteric ritual language, Lucumí, impact Lucumí’s ritual efficacy as the sacred speech of the deities and ancestors. In particular, I wish to argue that distinct interpreti ..."

An Efficient Learning Procedure for Deep Boltzmann Machines
, 2010
"... We present a new learning algorithm for Boltzmann Machines that contain many layers of hidden variables. Data-dependent statistics are estimated using a variational approximation that tends to focus on a single mode, and data-independent statistics are estimated using persistent Markov chains. The u ..."

CAPTCHA Recognition with Active Deep Learning
"... Abstract. CAPTCHAs are automated tests to tell computers and humans apart. They are designed to be easily solvable by humans, but unsolvable by machines. With Convolutional Neural Networks these tests can also be solved automatically. However, the strength of CNNs relies on the training data that th ..."

that the classifier is learnt on and especially on the size of the training set. Hence, it is intractable to solve the problem with CNNs in case of insufficient training data. We propose an Active Deep Learning strategy that makes use of the ability to gain new training data for free without any human intervention
Boosted Backpropagation Learning for Training Deep Modular Networks
"... Divide-and-conquer is key to building sophisticated learning machines: hard problems are solved by composing a network of modules that solve simpler problems (LeCun et al., 1998; Rohde, 2002; Bradley, 2009). Many such existing systems rely on learning algorithms which are based on simple parametric ..."

Deep Submodular Functions: Definitions & Learning
"... Abstract We propose and study a new class of submodular functions called deep submodular functions (DSFs). We define DSFs and situate them within the broader context of classes of submodular functions in relationship both to various matroid ranks and sums of concave composed with modular functions ..."

(SCMs). Notably, we find that DSFs constitute a strictly broader class than SCMs, thus motivating their use, but that they do not comprise all submodular functions. Interestingly, some DSFs can be seen as special cases of certain deep neural networks (DNNs), hence the name. Finally, we provide a method
A Deep Embedding Model for Co-occurrence Learning

Abstract-Co-occurrence Data is a common and important information source in many areas, such as the word co-occurrence in the sentences, friends co-occurrence in social networks and products co-occurrence in commercial transaction data, etc, which contains rich correlation and clustering informatio ..."

, we apply the maximum pseudolikelihood method to learn DEM. In consequence, the developed model and its learning method naturally avoid the above difficulties and can be easily used to compute the conditional probability in prediction. Interestingly, our method is equivalent to learning a special
Learning Factored Representations in a Deep Mixture of Experts
"... Mixtures of Experts combine the outputs of several “expert ” networks, each of which specializes in a different part of the input space. This is achieved by train-ing a “gating ” network that maps each input to a distribution over the experts. Such models show promise for building larger networks th ..."
