Stable Mixing of Complete and Incomplete Information
(2001-11-08)
An increasing number of parameter estimation tasks involve the use of at least two information sources, one complete but limited, the other abundant but incomplete. Standard algorithms such as EM (or em) used in this context ...
Simplifying transformations for type-alpha certificates
(2001-11-13)
This paper presents an algorithm for simplifying NDL deductions. An array of simplifying transformations are rigorously defined. They are shown to be terminating, and to respect the formal semantis of the language. We also ...
Detecting Faces in Impoverished Images
(2001-11-05)
The ability to detect faces in images is of critical ecological significance. It is a pre-requisite for other important face perception tasks such as person identification, gender classification and affect analysis. Here ...
Perceiving Illumination Inconsistencies in Scenes
(2001-11-05)
The human visual system is adept at detecting and encoding statistical regularities in its spatio-temporal environment. Here we report an unexpected failure of this ability in the context of perceiving inconsistencies in ...
Improving Multiclass Text Classification with the Support Vector Machine
(2001-10-16)
We compare Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machines on the task of multiclass text classification. Using a variety of approaches to combine the underlying binary classifiers, we find that SVMs substantially outperform Naive ...
