Gaussian Process Latent Variable Alignment Learning
share
We present a model that can automatically learn alignments between high-dimensional data in an unsupervised manner. Learning alignments is an ill-constrained problem as there are many different ways of defining a good alignment. Our proposed method casts alignment learning in a framework where both alignment and data are modelled simultaneously. We derive a probabilistic model built on non-parametric priors that allows for flexible warps while at the same time providing means to specify interpretable constraints. We show results on several datasets, including different motion capture sequences and show that the suggested model outperform the classical algorithmic approaches to the alignment task.
