We show that a classifier based on Gaussian mixture models (GMM) can be trained discriminatively to improve accuracy. We describe a training procedure based on the extended Baum-W...
We address the problem of learning classifiers using several kernel functions. On the contrary to many contributions in the field of learning from different sources of information...

Nonparametric methods are widely applicable to statistical learning problems, since they rely on a few modeling assumptions. In this context, the fresh look advocated here permeat...
The quality of large-scale recommendation systems has been insufficient in terms of the accuracy of prediction. One of the major reasons is caused by the sparsity of the samples, ...
Matching Pursuit algorithms learn a function that is a weighted sum of basis functions, by sequentially appending functions to an initially empty basis, to approximate a target fu...
