The Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is widely used for learning finite mixture models despite its greedy nature. Most popular model-based clustering techniques might yield...

In many practical applications, the data is organized along a manifold of lower dimension than the dimension of the embedding space. This additional information can be used when le...
Recent work in supervised learning of term-based retrieval models has shown significantly improved accuracy can often be achieved via better model estimation [2, 10, 11, 17]. In ...
We introduce, analyze and demonstrate a recursive hierarchical generalization of the widely used hidden Markov models, which we name Hierarchical Hidden Markov Models (HHMM). Our m...
In this paper, we investigate a simple, mistakedriven learning algorithm for discriminative training of continuous density hidden Markov models (CD-HMMs). Most CD-HMMs for automat...
