Neural networks are a useful alternative to Gaussian mixture models for acoustic modeling; however, training multilayer networks involves a difficult, nonconvex optimization that...
We study the problem of learning a kernel which minimizes a regularization error functional such as that used in regularization networks or support vector machines. We consider thi...

We present a novel approach to learn a kernelbased regression function. It is based on the use of conical combinations of data-based parameterized kernels and on a new stochastic ...

We propose an unsupervised image segmentation method based on texton similarity and mode seeking. The input image is first convolved with a filter-bank, followed by soft cluster...
In Kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFDA), we carry out Fisher linear discriminant analysis in a high dimensional feature space defined implicitly by a kernel. The performance...
