Nonparametric neighborhood methods for learning entail estimation of class conditional probabilities based on relative frequencies of samples that are "near-neighbors" of...
As agile software development principles and methods are being adopted by large software product organizations it is important to understand the role of software entropy. That is,...
Abstract. We consider the problem of estimating an unknown probability distribution from samples using the principle of maximum entropy (maxent). To alleviate overfitting with a v...
The principle of maximizing mutual information is applied to learning overcomplete and recurrent representations. The underlying model consists of a network of input units driving...
Since most real-world applications of classification learning involve continuous-valued attributes, properly addressing the discretization process is an important problem. This pa...
