In this paper, we propose a Robust Discriminant Analysis based on maximum entropy (MaxEnt) criterion (MaxEnt-RDA), which is derived from a nonparametric estimate of Renyi’s quadr...
We propose a new family of latent variable models called max-margin min-entropy (m3e) models, which define a distribution over the output and the hidden variables conditioned on ...

We present a novel approach to embedding data represented by a network into a lowdimensional Euclidean space. Unlike existing methods, the proposed method attempts to minimize an ...
This paper addresses the problem of discriminative training of language models that does not require any transcribed acoustic data. We propose to minimize the conditional entropy ...
We consider the AdaBoost procedure for boosting weak learners. In AdaBoost, a key step is choosing a new distribution on the training examples based on the old distribution and th...
