ROC curves are one of the most widely used displays to evaluate performance of scoring functions. In the paper, we propose a statistical method for directly optimizing the ROC cur...
We introduce supervised latent Dirichlet allocation (sLDA), a statistical model of labelled documents. The model accommodates a variety of response types. We derive a maximum-like...
The problem of maximizing a concave function f(x) in a simplex S can be solved approximately by a simple greedy algorithm. For given k, the algorithm can find a point x(k) on a k-...
This paper describes a learning system, LASSY1, which explores domains represented by Prolog databases, and use its acquired knowledge to increase the efficiency of a Prolog inter...
In this paper, we propose a statistical scheme for recognizing three-dimensional textures shown in motion images, which we call dynamic textures. The texture characteristics emerg...
