Language Modeling Using PLSA-Based Topic HMM
In this paper, we propose a PLSA-based language model for sports live speech. This model is implemented in unigram rescaling technique that combines a topic model and an n-gram. I...

Particle methods for maximum likelihood estimation in latent variable models
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is ...

GSA-based maximum likelihood estimation for threshold vector error correction model
The log-likelihood function of threshold vector error correction models is neither differentiable, nor smooth with respect to some parameters. Therefore, it is very difficult to ...

Nonlinear random effects mixture models: Maximum likelihood estimation via the EM algorithm
Nonlinear random effects models with finite mixture structures are used to identify polymorphism in pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) phenotypes. An EM algorithm for maxim...
