In this paper we investigate a discriminative approach to feature weighting for topic identification using minimum classification error (MCE) training. Our approach learns featu...
In this project report we describe work in statistical parsing using the maximum entropy technique and the Alpino language analysis system for Dutch. A major difficulty in this d...
In recent years, available audio corpora are rapidly increasing from fast growing Internet and digital libraries. How to classify and retrieve sound files relevant to the user'...
A new distance measure between probability density functions (pdfs) is introduced, which we refer to as the Laplacian pdf distance. The Laplacian pdf distance exhibits a remarkabl...
For fast classification under real-time constraints, as required in many imagebased pattern recognition applications, linear discriminant functions are a good choice. Linear discr...
