In this paper, the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for Gaussian mixture modeling is improved via three statistical tests. The first test is a multivariate normality criteri...
One of the difficulties in second language (L2) learning is the weakness in discriminating between acoustic diversity within an L2 phoneme category and between different categori...
Local experts have been used to great effect for fitting deformable
models to images. Typically, the best location in
an image for the deformable model’s landmarks are found
t...
We present a new approach to model and classify breast parenchymal tissue. Given a mammogram, first, we will discover the distribution of the different tissue densities in an unsu...
We describe a method of representing human activities that allows a collection of motions to be queried without examples, using a simple and effective query language. Our approach...
