This paper introduces a Bayesian algorithm for constructing predictive models from data that are optimized to predict a target variable well for a particular instance. This algori...
Current hidden Markov acoustic modeling for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) relies on the availability of abundant labeled transcriptions. Given that speech...
In the real visual world, the number of categories a classifier needs to discriminate is on the order of hundreds or thousands. For example, the SUN dataset [24] contains 899 sce...
Although a considerable amount of work has been published on material classification, relatively little of it studies situations with considerable variation within each class. Man...
