A New Instance-Based Label Ranking Approach Using the Mallows Model
In this paper, we introduce a new instance-based approach to the label ranking problem. This approach is based on a probability model on rankings which is known as the Mallows mode...

Improving multi-lattice alignment based spoken keyword spotting
In previous work, we showed that using a lattice instead of the 1-best path to represent both the query and the utterance being searched is beneficial for spoken keyword spotting...

Sparseness Achievement in Hidden Markov Models
In this paper, a novel learning algorithm for Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) has been devised. The key issue is the achievement of a sparse model, i.e., a model in which all irreleva...

The "DGX" distribution for mining massive, skewed data
Skewed distributions appear very often in practice. Unfortunately, the traditional Zipf distribution often fails to model them well. In this paper, we propose a new probability di...
