Describing the collective activity of neural populations is a daunting task: the number of possible patterns grows exponentially with the number of cells, resulting in practically...

This paper addresses the problem of developing appropriate features for use in direct modeling approaches to speech recognition, such as those based on Maximum Entropy models or S...
Exponential models of distributions are widely used in machine learning for classification and modelling. It is well known that they can be interpreted as maximum entropy models u...
Maximum entropy models are a common modeling technique, but prone to overfitting. We show that using an exponential distribution as a prior leads to bounded absolute discounting b...
We introduce a new method for disambiguating word senses that exploits a nonlinear Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) technique to achieve accuracy superior to the best pu...
This paper studies the impact of written language variations and the way it affects the capitalization task over time. A discriminative approach, based on maximum entropy models, ...
The paper discusses two policies for recognizing NEs with complex structures by maximum entropy models. One policy is to develop cascaded MaxEnt models at different levels. The ot...
