Learning graphical models with hidden variables can offer semantic insights to complex data and lead to salient structured predictors without relying on expensive, sometime unatta...
We present conditional random fields, a framework for building probabilistic models to segment and label sequence data. Conditional random fields offer several advantages over hid...

This paper addresses the problem of developing appropriate features for use in direct modeling approaches to speech recognition, such as those based on Maximum Entropy models or S...
Many of the same modeling methods used in natural languages, speci cally Markov models and HMM's, have also been applied to biological sequence analysis. In recent years, nat...
This paper presents a novel texture segmentation method using Bayesian estimation and neural networks. Multi-scale wavelet coefficients and the context information extracted from n...
