Evaluating music sequence models through missing data
Building models of the structure in musical signals raises the question of how to evaluate and compare different modeling approaches. One possibility is to use the model to impute...

A classifier-based decoding approach for large scale distributed coding
Canonical distributed quantization schemes do not scale to large sensor networks due to the exponential decoder storage complexity that they entail. Prior efforts to tackle this i...

Bayesian adaptive nearest neighbor
: The k nearest neighbor classification (k-NN) is a very simple and popular method for classification. However, it suffers from a major drawback, it assumes constant local class po...

Learning Dissimilarities for Categorical Symbols
In this paper we learn a dissimilarity measure for categorical data, for effective classification of the data points. Each categorical feature (with values taken from a finite set...

Dissimilarity representations allow for building good classifiers
In this paper, a classification task on dissimilarity representations is considered. A traditional way to discriminate between objects represented by dissimilarities is the neares...

K-Nearest Neighbor Finding Using MaxNearestDist
Abstract-Similarity searching often reduces to finding the k nearest neighbors to a query object. Finding the k nearest neighbors is achieved by applying either a depth-first or a ...
