Abstract. The recently introduced family of natural evolution strategies (NES), a novel stochastic descent method employing the natural gradient, is providing a more principled alt...
We describe a new course designed to introduce engineering students to computational thinking. One of the most significant challenges in teaching an introductory-level applied co...
We propose a new parallelization scheme for the hmmsearch function of the HMMER software, in order to target FPGA technology. hmmsearch is a very compute intensive software for bio...
This work presents a new approach to discriminative speaker verification. Rather than estimating speaker models, or a model that discriminates between a speaker class and the cla...
