We develop a framework to detect when certain sounds are present in a mixed audio signal. We focus on the regime where out of a large number of possible sounds, a small but unknow...
Many statistical M-estimators are based on convex optimization problems formed by the weighted sum of a loss function with a norm-based regularizer. We analyze the convergence rat...

Speaker recognition using support vector machines (SVMs) with features derived from generative models has been shown to perform well. Typically, a universal background model (UBM)...
Previous Multiple Kernel Learning approaches (MKL) employ different kernels by their linear combination. Though some improvements have been achieved over methods using single kerne...
With the recent efforts made by computer vision researchers,
more and more types of features have been designed
to describe various aspects of visual characteristics.
Modeling s...
