4 Indian Buffet Process <strong>Models</strong><br />

Figure 4.2: Graphical representation <strong>for</strong> the binary feature model using finite binary matrix.<br />

The parameters µk determine the presence or absence of the features that define<br />

the inputs.<br />

To see the connection between the distribution over the binary matrix and the sequential<br />

Indian buffet process, we can think of starting with a matrix of zeros and<br />

sequentially setting each entry of the matrix. The incremental conditional probabilities<br />

are given as:<br />

<br />

P (zik | zjk, 1 ≤ j < i) = P (zik | µk)P (µk | zjk, 1 ≤ j < i)dµk<br />

Γ(α/K + i)<br />
