We propose a novel group regularization which we call exclusive lasso. Unlike the group lasso regularizer that assumes covarying variables in groups, the proposed exclusive lasso ...
One problem in concatenative speech synthesis is how to incorporate prosodic factors in the unit selection. Imposing a predicted prosodic target is error-prone and does not benefi...
We propose a generic, domain-independent local search method called adaptive search for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). We design a new heuristics that takes advan...
Earth mover's distance (EMD for short) is a perceptually meaningful dissimilarity measure between histograms. The computation of EMD reduces to a network flow optimization pro...
The prediction of protein secondary structure is a classical problem in bioinformatics, and in the past few years several machine learning techniques have been proposed to t. From...
