Noise-contrastive estimation: A new estimation principle for unnormalized statistical models
We present a new estimation principle for parameterized statistical models. The idea is to perform nonlinear logistic regression to discriminate between the observed data and some...

A Meta-model for the Assessment of Non-Functional Requirement Size
Non-functional requirements (NFRs) pose unique challenges in estimating the effort it would take to implement them. This is mainly because of their unique nature; NFRs are subject...
