Abstract. In this paper a rigorous mathematical framework of deterministic annealing and mean-field approximation is presented for a general class of partitioning, clustering and ...
In this paper we introduce a novel optimization framework for hierarchical data clustering and apply it to the problem of unsupervised texture segmentation. The proposed objective...
We introduce a new model for extracting classified structural segments, such as intro, verse, chorus, break and so forth, from recorded music. Our approach is to classify signal ...
