We consider feature extraction (dimensionality reduction) for compositional data, where the data vectors are constrained to be positive and constant-sum. In real-world problems, t...
Classic mixture models assume that the prevalence of the various mixture components is fixed and does not vary over time. This presents problems for applications where the goal is...

We focus on the problem of efficient learning of dependency trees. Once grown, they can be used as a special case of a Bayesian network, for PDF approximation, and for many other u...
Choosing an appropriate kernel is one of the key problems in kernel-based methods. Most existing kernel selection methods require that the class labels of the training examples ar...
We propose adaptive nonlinear auto-associative modeling (ANAM) based on Locally Linear Embedding algorithm (LLE) for learning intrinsic principal features of each concept separatel...
