Component-wise parameter smoothing for learning mixture models
In this paper, we propose a novel component-wise smoothing algorithm that constructs a hierarchy (or family) of smoothened log-likelihood surfaces. Our approach first smoothens th...

A mathematical framework for incorporating anatomical knowledge in DT-MRI analysis
We propose a Bayesian approach to incorporate anatomical information in the clustering of fiber trajectories. An expectationmaximization (EM) algorithm is used to cluster the traj...

Heteroscedastic discriminant analysis and reduced rank HMMs for improved speech recognition
We present the theory for heteroscedastic discriminant analysis (HDA), a model-based generalization of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) derived in the maximum-likelihood framewo...

Variational inference for Student-t MLP models
This paper presents a novel methodology to infer parameters of probabilistic models whose output noise is a Student-t distribution. The method is an extension of earlier work for ...

Parameter Learning of Logic Programs for Symbolic-Statistical Modeling
We propose a logical/mathematical framework for statistical parameter learning of parameterized logic programs, i.e. de nite clause programs containing probabilistic facts with a ...
