Bayesian Learning in Sparse Graphical Factor Models via Variational Mean-Field Annealing
West, Mike - 2010
We describe a class of sparse latent factor models, called graphical factor models (GFMs), and relevant sparse learning algorithms for posterior mode estimation. Linear, Gaussian GFMs have sparse, orthogonal factor loadings matrices, that, in addition to sparsity of the implied covariance...
