The impact of learning algorithm optimization by means of parameter tuning is studied. To do this, two quality attributes, sensitivity and classification performance, are investig...
This paper presents multi-conditional learning (MCL), a training criterion based on a product of multiple conditional likelihoods. When combining the traditional conditional proba...
