We investigate maximum likelihood parameter learning in Conditional Random Fields (CRF) and present an empirical study of pseudo-likelihood (PL) based approximations of the paramet...
Feature selection plays a fundamental role in many pattern
recognition problems. However, most efforts have been
focused on the supervised scenario, while unsupervised feature
s...

We address the reconstruction of a 3D image from a set of incomplete X-ray tomographic data. In the case where the image is composed of one or several objects lying in a uniform b...
In order to obtain better learning results in supervised learning, it is important to choose model parameters appropriately. Model selection is usually carried out by preparing a ...
Normal mixture models are widely used for statistical modeling of data, including cluster analysis. However maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for normal mixtures using the EM al...
