Probabilistic mixture models are used for a broad range of data analysis tasks such as clustering, classification, predictive modeling, etc. Due to their inherent probabilistic na...
In many scientific and engineering applications, detecting and understanding differences between two groups of examples can be reduced to a classical problem of training a classif...
Speculative execution of information gathering plans can dramatically reduce the effect of source I/O latencies on overall performance. However, the utility of speculation is clos...
A new approach to the Text Categorization problem is here presented. It is called Gaussian Weighting and it is a supervised learning algorithm that, during the training phase, est...
Bayesian network models are widely used for discriminative prediction tasks such as classification. Usually their parameters are determined using 'unsupervised' methods ...
