On Probability Estimation via Relative Frequencies and Discount

2015

Probability estimation is an elementary building block of every statistical data compression algorithm. In practice probability estimation is often based on relative letter frequencies which get scaled down, when their sum is too large. Such …
Online Learning with Gated Linear Networks

2017 · arXiv (Cornell University)

This paper describes a family of probabilistic architectures designed for online learning under the logarithmic loss. Rather than relying on non-linear transfer functions, our method gains representational power by the use of data conditioning. We …
