Draft slides for upcoming lectures

PDF's for upcoming lectures for those that want it. The further in the future these go, the more likely it is that I will tweak the presentation by the time the lecture is given. Also, there will also be bugs, errors, etc, which will get patched in the archival versions if they are spotted in class or shortly thereafter.

Koller/Friedman third chapter

EM

Chapter nine of Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Chris Bishop.

Borman EM tutorial (fairly gentile coverage of EM from a formal perspective). Bishop does a similar thing using KL divergence.

HMM

Lawrence R. Rabiner, "A Tutorial on Hidden Markov Models and Selected Applications in Speech Recognition," Proceedings of the IEEE, 77 (2), p. 257-286, February 1989.

Chapter thirteen of Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Chris Bishop.

MCMC

Andrieu, de Freitas, Doucet, and Jordan, An Intrdoction to MCMC for Machine Learning, 2001.

Neal, Probablistic Inference Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods, 1993.
