Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper addresses the issue of detecting changes of latent strucures behind data. The theory of probabilsitic models with latent variales has extensively been explored in the area of statistics and machine learning, and most research on it have mainly focused on the static nature of that model. In this paper we rather consider the case where the probabilisitic model with latent variables changes over time and our main concern is how to track the structural changes of the model. Various approaches have been taken to address this issue. They include modern techniques of information-theoretic learning theory such as "tracking best experts", "switching distributions", "dynamic model selection." They form a novel trend of information theory and learning theory and have been applied to data mining issues such as novelty detection, network structural change detection. This paper overviews recent advances in the theory of detecting changes of latent structures and its applications to real problems.
