We consider the problem of constructing mean{risk models which are consistent with the second degree stochastic dominance relation. By exploiting duality relations of convex analys...
Distributional, corpus-based descriptions have frequently been applied to model aspects of word meaning. However, distributional models that use corpus data as their basis have on...
: In the distribution-free property testing model, the distance between functions is measured with respect to an arbitrary and unknown probability distribution D over the input dom...
Speech can be represented as a time/frequency distribution of energy using a multi-band filter bank. A Markov random field model, which takes into account the possible time asynch...
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is ...
