We study the problem of modeling species geographic distributions, a critical problem in conservation biology. We propose the use of maximum-entropy techniques for this problem, s...
We study the problem of simultaneously estimating several densities where the datasets are organized into overlapping groups, such as a hierarchy. For this problem, we propose a m...
Recently, the bag-of-words approach has been successfully applied to automatic image annotation, object recognition, etc. The method needs to first quantize an image using the vis...
It is widely known that the quality of confidence measure is critical for speech applications. In this paper, we present our recent work on improving word confidence scores by cal...
Abstract. We consider the problem of estimating an unknown probability distribution from samples using the principle of maximum entropy (maxent). To alleviate overfitting with a v...
