We consider the problem of learning density mixture models for classification. Traditional learning of mixtures for density estimation focuses on models that correctly represent t...
Graph-based methods for semi-supervised learning have recently been shown to be promising for combining labeled and unlabeled data in classification problems. However, inference f...
Abstract. We study discriminative joint density models, that is, generative models for the joint density p(c, x) learned by maximizing a discriminative cost function, the condition...
The problem of determining the appropriate number of components is important in finite mixture modeling for pattern classification. This paper considers the application of an unsu...
It is possible to broadly characterize two approaches to probabilistic modeling in terms of generative and discriminative methods. Provided with sufficient training data the discr...
