We use prior and boundary estimates as the approximation of outside probability and establish our beam thresholding strategies based on these estimates. Lexical items, e.g. head wo...
We develop and analyze M-estimation methods for divergence functionals and the likelihood ratios of two probability distributions. Our method is based on a non-asymptotic variatio...

Estimating the ratio of two probability density functions (a.k.a. the importance) has recently gathered a great deal of attention since importance estimators can be used for solvi...

Abstract— In previous work, we studied the structure and performance of optimum maximum-likelihood receivers for binary antipodal and orthogonal signals in the presence of Gaussi...
