This paper explores the use of the homotopy method for training a semi-supervised Hidden Markov Model (HMM) used for sequence labeling. We provide a novel polynomial-time algorith...
—Human movement models often divide movements into parts. In walking the stride can be segmented into four different parts, and in golf and other sports, the swing is divided int...

In Computer Vision, two-dimensional shape classifcation is a complex and well studied topic, often basic for three-dimensional object recognition. Object contours are a widely cho...
We propose a principled and efficient phraseto-phrase alignment model, useful in machine translation as well as other related natural language processing problems. In a hidden se...
We present a discriminative training algorithm, that uses support vector machines (SVMs), to improve the classification of discrete and continuous output probability hidden Markov ...
