Parallelized Computation and Backpropagation Under Angle-Parametrized Orthogonal Matrices

no code implementations30 May 2021 Firas Hamze

We present a methodology for parallel acceleration of learning in the presence of matrix orthogonality and unitarity constraints of interest in several branches of machine learning.

Discrete Equilibrium Sampling with Arbitrary Nonequilibrium Processes

no code implementations3 Dec 2015 Firas Hamze, Evgeny Andryash

We present a novel framework for performing statistical sampling, expectation estimation, and partition function approximation using \emph{arbitrary} heuristic stochastic processes defined over discrete state spaces.

A Stochastic approximation method for inference in probabilistic graphical models

no code implementations NeurIPS 2009 Peter Carbonetto, Matthew King, Firas Hamze

We describe a new algorithmic framework for inference in probabilistic models, and apply it to inference for latent Dirichlet allocation.
