Constrained nonlinear minimum mse estimation
We address the problem of minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimation where the estimator is constrained to belong to a prede ned set of functions. We derive a simple closed form...

A GIS-like training algorithm for log-linear models with hidden variables
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) are often estimated using an entropy based criterion in combination with Generalized Iterative Scaling (GIS). GIS offers, upon others, the immedi...
