The implication of data diversity for a classifier-free ensemble selection in random subspaces
Ensemble of Classifiers (EoC) has been shown effective in improving the performance of single classifiers by combining their outputs. By using diverse data subsets to train classi...

Approximating a non-homogeneous HMM with Dynamic Spatial Dirichlet Process
In this work we present a model that uses a Dirichlet Process (DP) with a dynamic spatial constraints to approximate a non-homogeneous hidden Markov model (NHMM). The coefficient ...
