AbstractWe show that the beta process is the de Finetti mixing distribution underlying the In- dian buffet process of [2]. This result shows that the beta process plays the role for the Indian buffet process that the Dirichlet pro- cess plays for the Chinese restaurant process, a parallel that guides us in deriving analogs for the beta process of the many known ex- tensions of the Dirichlet process. In partic- ular we define Bayesian hierarchies of beta processes and use the connection to the beta process to develop posterior inference algo- rithms for the Indian buffet process. We also present an application to document classifi- cation, exploring a relationship between the hierarchical beta process and smoothed naive Bayes models.
