Unifying Divergence Minimization and Statistical Inference Via Convex Duality
Abstract. In this paper we unify divergence minimization and statistical inference by means of convex duality. In the process of doing so, we prove that the dual of approximate max...

Relevance information: a loss of entropy but a gain for IDF?
When investigating alternative estimates for term discriminativeness, we discovered that relevance information and idf are much closer related than formulated in classical literat...

Order Parameters for Minimax Entropy Distributions: When Does High Level Knowledge Help?
Many problems in vision can be formulated as Bayesian inference. It is important to determine the accuracy of these inferences and how they depend on the problem domain. In recent...

Rademacher Complexity and Grammar Induction Algorithms: What It May (Not) Tell Us
Abstract. This paper revisits a problem of the evaluation of computational grammatical inference (GI) systems and discusses what role complexity measures can play for the assessmen...
