Maximum Likelihood Learning of Conditional MTE Distributions
We describe a procedure for inducing conditional densities within the mixtures of truncated exponentials (MTE) framework. We analyse possible conditional MTE specifications and pr...

Expectation maximization algorithms for conditional likelihoods
We introduce an expectation maximizationtype (EM) algorithm for maximum likelihood optimization of conditional densities. It is applicable to hidden variable models where the dist...

Parameter estimation and model selection for mixtures of truncated exponentials
Bayesian networks with mixtures of truncated exponentials (MTEs) support efficient inference algorithms and provide a flexible way of modeling hybrid domains (domains containing ...

Training Conditional Random Fields Using Virtual Evidence Boosting
While conditional random fields (CRFs) have been applied successfully in a variety of domains, their training remains a challenging task. In this paper, we introduce a novel trai...
