Hidden Markov Models (HMM) are probabilistic graphical models for interdependent classification. In this paper we experiment with different ways of combining the components of an ...
Low-rank matrix approximation methods provide one of the simplest and most effective approaches to collaborative filtering. Such models are usually fitted to data by finding a MAP...
We present a novel matching and similarity evaluation method for planar geometric shapes represented by sets of polygonal curves. Given two shapes, the matching algorithm randomly...
Supervised and unsupervised learning methods have traditionally focused on data consisting of independent instances of a single type. However, many real-world domains are best des...
We present a mixture model based approach for learning individualized behavior models for the Web users. We investigate the use of maximum entropy and Markov mixture models for ge...
