Boosted Audio-Visual HMM for Speech Reading
We propose a new approach for combining acoustic and visual measurements to aid in recognizing lip shapes of a person speaking. Our method relies on computing the maximum likeliho...

Evidence Contrary to the Statistical View of Boosting
The statistical perspective on boosting algorithms focuses on optimization, drawing parallels with maximum likelihood estimation for logistic regression. In this paper we present ...

Expectation maximization algorithms for conditional likelihoods
We introduce an expectation maximizationtype (EM) algorithm for maximum likelihood optimization of conditional densities. It is applicable to hidden variable models where the dist...

Boosted Markov Chain Monte Carlo Data Association for Multiple Target Detection and Tracking
In this paper, we present a probabilistic framework for automatic detection and tracking of objects. We address the data association problem by formulating the visual tracking as ...

Training conditional random fields via gradient tree boosting
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs; Lafferty, McCallum, & Pereira, 2001) provide a flexible and powerful model for learning to assign labels to elements of sequences in such appl...
