EM algorithm is a very popular iteration-based method to estimate the parameters of Gaussian Mixture Model from a large observation set. However, in most cases, EM algorithm is no...
We consider mixtures of parametric densities on the positive reals with a normalized generalized gamma process (Brix, 1999) as mixing measure. This class of mixtures encompasses t...

—Discriminative Training (DT) methods for acoustic modeling, such as MMI, MCE, and SVM, have been proved effective in speaker recognition. In this paper we propose a DT method fo...
Bayesian Kullback Ying—Yang dependence reduction system and theory is presented. Via stochastic approximation, implementable algorithms and criteria are given for parameter lear...
Decision theory does not traditionally include uncertainty over utility functions. We argue that the a person's utility value for a given outcome can be treated as we treat o...
