We propose a novel probabilistic method based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to learn the structure of a Latent Variable Model (LVM) for query language modeling. In the proposed...
In this paper, a framework that combines feature extraction, model learning, and likelihood computation, is presented for video event detection. First, the independent component a...
This paper explores the use of the homotopy method for training a semi-supervised Hidden Markov Model (HMM) used for sequence labeling. We provide a novel polynomial-time algorith...
This paper describes a technique for learning both the number of states and the topologyof Hidden Markov Models from examples. The inductionprocess starts with the most specific m...
This paper proposes a general probabilistic framework for shape-based modeling and classification of waveform data. A segmental hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to characterize w...
