Multimodal Factor Analysis | | Yasin Yilmaz

3 Aug 2015 | | Abstract: | A multimodal system with Poisson, Gaussian, and multinomial observations is
considered. A generative graphical model that combines multiple modalities
through common factor loadings is proposed. In this model, latent factors are
like summary objects that has latent factor scores in each modality, and the
observed objects are represented in terms of such summary objects. This
potentially brings about a significant dimensionality reduction. It also
naturally enables a powerful means of clustering based on a diverse set of
observations. An expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to find the model
parameters is provided. The algorithm is tested on a Twitter dataset which
consists of the counts and geographical coordinates of hashtag occurrences,
together with the bag of words for each hashtag. The resultant factors
successfully localizes the hashtags in all dimensions: counts, coordinates,
topics. The algorithm is also extended to accommodate von Mises-Fisher
distribution, which is used to model the spherical coordinates. | | Source: | arXiv, 1508.0408 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
