We present a new unsupervised algorithm for training structured predictors that is discriminative, convex, and avoids the use of EM. The idea is to formulate an unsupervised versi...

Abstract. We present a novel approach to structure learning for graphical models. By using nonparametric estimates to model clique densities in decomposable models, both discrete a...
In order to perform object recognition it is necessary to learn representations of the underlying components of images. Such components correspond to objects, object-parts, or fea...
—Structural learning with forgetting is an established method of using Laplace regularization to generate skeletal artificial neural networks. In this paper we develop a continu...
Active and semi-supervised learning are important techniques when labeled data are scarce. Recently a method was suggested for combining active learning with a semi-supervised lea...
