Variational Inference - Princeton University
www.cs.princeton.eduThis comes from information theory, a eld that has deep links to statistics and machine learning. (See the books \Information Theory and Statistics" by Kullback and \Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms" by MacKay.) The KL divergence for variational inference is KL(qjjp) = E q log q(Z) p(Zjx) : (6) Intuitively, there are three ...

HUMAN FACE DETECTION AND RECOGNITION - nitrkl.ac.in
ethesis.nitrkl.ac.inIn the language of information theory, the relevant information in a face needs to be extracted, encoded efficiently and one face encoding is compared with the similarly encoded database. The trick behind extracting such kind of information is to capture as many variations as possible from the set of training images.

Information Theory - Massachusetts Institute of Technology
web.mit.edu6.933 Project History, Massachusetts Institute of Technology SNAPES@MIT.EDU The traditional solution was to use narrow-band radios, which would focus all their power into a small range of frequencies. The problem was that as the number of users increased, the number of channels began to be used up. Additionally, such radios were highly ...
