U-Likelihood and U-Updating Algorithms: Statistical Inference in Latent Variable Models
Abstract. In this paper we consider latent variable models and introduce a new U-likelihood concept for estimating the distribution over hidden variables. One can derive an estimat...

Expectation-MiniMax Approach to Clustering Analysis
Abstract. This paper proposes a general approach named ExpectationMiniMax (EMM) for clustering analysis without knowing the cluster number. It describes the contrast function of Ex...

Discriminative unsupervised learning of structured predictors
We present a new unsupervised algorithm for training structured predictors that is discriminative, convex, and avoids the use of EM. The idea is to formulate an unsupervised versi...

Annealing Techniques For Unsupervised Statistical Language Learning
Exploiting unannotated natural language data is hard largely because unsupervised parameter estimation is hard. We describe deterministic annealing (Rose et al., 1990) as an appea...

Efficient Algorithms for Minimizing Cross Validation Error
Model selection is important in many areas of supervised learning. Given a dataset and a set of models for predicting with that dataset, we must choose the model which is expected...
