The supremacy of n-gram models in statistical language modelling has recently been challenged by parametric models that use distributed representations to counteract the difficult...
In this paper, we present an information-theoretic approach to learning a Mahalanobis distance function. We formulate the problem as that of minimizing the differential relative e...

Given a sample covariance matrix, we examine the problem of maximizing the variance explained by a particular linear combination of the input variables while constraining the numb...

Regularized Kernel Discriminant Analysis (RKDA) performs linear discriminant analysis in the feature space via the kernel trick. The performance of RKDA depends on the selection o...
