In the case of concept learning from positive and negative examples, it is rarely possible to find a unique discriminating conjunctive rule; in most cases, a disjunctive descripti...
Duration of phonemic segments provide important cues for distinguishing words in languages such as Arabic. Recently, we proposed a discriminatively estimated joint acoustic, durat...
The problem of determining the appropriate number of components is important in finite mixture modeling for pattern classification. This paper considers the application of an unsu...
This paper proposes a two-step methodology for improving the discriminatory power of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) for video-based human face recognition. Results indicate th...
