Variational methods have proved popular and effective for inference and learning in intractable graphical models. An attractive feature of the approaches based on the Kullback-Lei...
In this paper, we explore the use of a Gaussian posteriorgram based representation for unsupervised discovery of speech patterns. Compared with our previous work, the new approach...
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...

Accurate, well-calibrated estimates of class membership probabilities are needed in many supervised learning applications, in particular when a cost-sensitive decision must be mad...
This paper investigates how the splitting criteria and pruning methods of decision tree learning algorithms are influenced by misclassification costs or changes to the class distr...
