We introduce the Line Search A-Function (LSAF) technique that generalizes the Extended-Baum Welch technique in order to provide an effective optimization technique for a broader s...

We propose a new optimization algorithm called Generalized Baum Welch (GBW) algorithm for discriminative training on hidden Markov model (HMM). GBW is based on Lagrange relaxation...
Constrained discriminative linear transform (CDLT) optimized with Extended Baum-Welch (EBW) has been presented in the literature as a discriminative speaker adaptation method that...
Given a convex polygon P with m vertices and a set S of n points in the plane, we consider the problem of nding a placement of P that contains the maximum number of points in S. W...
The max-cut and stable set problems are two fundamental NP-hard problems in combinatorial optimization. It has been known for a long time that any instance of the stable set probl...
