We introduce a novel framework for simultaneous structure and parameter learning in hidden-variable conditional probability models, based on an entropic prior and a solution for i...
In many pattern recognition tasks, given some input data and a family of models, the “best” model is defined as the one which maximizes the likelihood of the data given the m...

We explore a new Bayesian model for probabilistic grammars, a family of distributions over discrete structures that includes hidden Markov models and probabilistic context-free gr...
We introduce models for density estimation with multiple, hidden, continuous factors. In particular, we propose a generalization of multilinear models using nonlinear basis functi...
We compare and contrast two different models for detecting sentence-like units in continuous speech. The first approach uses hidden Markov sequence models based on N-grams and max...
