Finding a point which minimizes the maximal distortion with respect to a dataset is an important estimation problem that has recently received growing attentions in machine learnin...
Modern approaches to speaker recognition (verification) operate in a space of “supervectors” created via concatenation of the mean vectors of a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) a...
