A latent variable model is a statistical model that relates a set of observable variables (also called manifest variables or indicators) [1] to a set of latent variables. Latent variable models are applied across a wide range of fields such as biology, computer science, and social science. [ 2 ]
Related to—yet distinct from—the manifest content, the latent content of the dream is the unconscious thoughts, drives, and desires that lie behind the dream as it appears. These thoughts in their raw form are permanently barred from consciousness by the mechanism of repression, but continue to exert pressure in the direction of consciousness.
As soon as he embraced psychoanalysis, Jung began to multiply his theoretical studies on dreams. In 1908, he published the article "The Freudian Theory of Hysteria", [D 15] followed in 1909 by a synthesis in "The Analysis of Dreams", [D 16] in which he used all Freud's concepts, such as censorship and latent and manifest content. The study even ...
Hierarchical latent tree analysis is an alternative to LDA, which models word co-occurrence using a tree of latent variables and the states of the latent variables, which correspond to soft clusters of documents, are interpreted as topics. Animation of the topic detection process in a document-word matrix through biclustering. Every column ...
Latent variables, as created by factor analytic methods, generally represent "shared" variance, or the degree to which variables "move" together. Variables that have no correlation cannot result in a latent construct based on the common factor model. [5] The "Big Five personality traits" have been inferred using factor analysis. extraversion [6]
The use of Latent Semantic Analysis has been prevalent in the study of human memory, especially in areas of free recall and memory search. There is a positive correlation between the semantic similarity of two words (as measured by LSA) and the probability that the words would be recalled one after another in free recall tasks using study lists ...
Machine learning models only have to fit relatively simple, low-dimensional, highly structured subspaces within their potential input space (latent manifolds). Within one of these manifolds, it’s always possible to interpolate between two inputs, that is to say, morph one into another via a continuous path along which all points fall on the ...
The EM algorithm consists of two steps: the E-step and the M-step. Firstly, the model parameters and the () can be randomly initialized. In the E-step, the algorithm tries to guess the value of () based on the parameters, while in the M-step, the algorithm updates the value of the model parameters based on the guess of () of the E-step.
