A kernelized maximal-figure-of-merit learning approach based on subspace distance minimization
We propose a kernelized maximal-figure-of-merit (MFoM) learning approach to efficiently training a nonlinear model using subspace distance minimization. In particular, a fixed,...

Distributed training of large scale exponential language models
Shrinkage-based exponential language models, such as the recently introduced Model M, have provided significant gains over a range of tasks [1]. Training such models requires a l...

On the weight convergence of Elman networks
Abstract--An Elman network (EN) can be viewed as a feedforward (FF) neural network with an additional set of inputs from the context layer (feedback from the hidden layer). Therefo...

On the value of learning from defect dense components for software defect prediction
BACKGROUND: Defect predictors learned from static code measures can isolate code modules with a higher than usual probability of defects. AIMS: To improve those learners by focusi...

Incremental word learning using large-margin discriminative training and variance floor estimation
We investigate incremental word learning in a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) framework suitable for human-robot interaction. In interactive learning, the tutoring time is a crucial fac...

Shared Parts for Deformable Part-based Models
The deformable part-based model (DPM) proposed by Felzenszwalb et al. has demonstrated state-of-the-art results in object localization. The model offers a high degree of learnt in...
