Many real-world sequence learning tasks require the prediction of sequences of labels from noisy, unsegmented input data. In speech recognition, for example, an acoustic signal is...
This paper presents an approach to build Sparse Large Margin Classifiers (SLMC) by adding one more constraint to the standard Support Vector Machine (SVM) training problem. The ad...
Although Bayesian model averaging is theoretically the optimal method for combining learned models, it has seen very little use in machine learning. In this paper we study its app...
This paper presents a novel discriminative learning method, called Manifold Discriminant Analysis (MDA), to solve the problem of image set classification. By modeling each image s...
Abstract. We consider a new discriminative learning approach to sequence labeling based on the statistical concept of the Z-score. Given a training set of pairs of hidden-observed ...
