In the present work we address the problem of phone duration modeling for the needs of emotional speech synthesis. Specifically, relying on ten well known machine learning techniqu...
L1 (also referred to as the 1-norm or Lasso) penalty based formulations have been shown to be effective in problem domains when noisy features are present. However, the L1 penalty...
This work proposes the use of maximal variation analysis for feature selection within least squares support vector machines for survival analysis. Instead of selecting a subset of ...

Algorithms for feature selection fall into two broad categories: wrappers that use the learning algorithm itself to evaluate the usefulness of features and filters that evaluate f...
We consider the task of reinforcement learning with linear value function approximation. Temporal difference algorithms, and in particular the Least-Squares Temporal Difference (L...
