Abstract. In recent years, there has been a great deal of work in modeling audio using non-negative matrix factorization and its probabilistic counterparts as they yield rich model...
Bottom-up segmentation based only on low-level cues is a notoriously difficult problem. This difficulty has lead to recent top-down segmentation algorithms that are based on class-...
Many learning algorithms rely on the curvature (in particular, strong convexity) of regularized objective functions to provide good theoretical performance guarantees. In practice...
We propose a new approach to semi-supervised clustering that utilizes boosting to simultaneously learn both a similarity measure and a clustering of the data from given instancele...
We describe an unsupervised system for learning narrative schemas, coherent sequences or sets of events (arrested(POLICE,SUSPECT), convicted( JUDGE, SUSPECT)) whose arguments are ...
