Abstract. The regularized Mahalanobis distance is proposed in the framework of finite mixture models to avoid commonly faced numerical difficulties encountered with EM. Its princip...
The four-level pachinko allocation model (PAM) (Li & McCallum, 2006) represents correlations among topics using a DAG structure. It does not, however, represent a nested hiera...
Image attention is the basic technique for many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose an adaptive Bayesian framework to detect the image attention in color image...
As biometric authentication systems become more prevalent, it is becoming increasingly important to evaluate their performance. The current paper introduces a novel statistical me...
Motivated by the application of seismic inversion in the petroleum industry we consider a hidden Markov model with two hidden layers. The bottom layer is a Markov chain and given ...
