Hybrid Discriminative-Generative Approach with Gaussian Processes

چکیده
Machine learning practitioners are often faced with a choice between a discriminative and a generative approach to modelling. Here, we present a model based on a hybrid approach that breaks down some of the barriers between the discriminative and generative points of view, allowing continuous dimensionality reduction of hybrid discretecontinuous data, discriminative classification with missing inputs and manifold learning informed by class labels.

Comparison of Clustering Algorithms for Speaker Identification
In this paper we consider the problem of text-independent speaker identification that refers to acoustic recognition research. Many different techniques have been presented over past several decades. A stateof-the-art technique uses Gaussian Mixtures (GMM) for modeling speaker data distribution presented by MFCC [1] or LPCC [2] features. The classification is obtained by choosing the speaker cl...
متن کاملA Hybrid Generative/Discriminative Approach to Semi-Supervised Classifier Design
Semi-supervised classifier design that simultaneously utilizes both labeled and unlabeled samples is a major research issue in machine learning. Existing semisupervised learning methods belong to either generative or discriminative approaches. This paper focuses on probabilistic semi-supervised classifier design and presents a hybrid approach to take advantage of the generative and discriminati...
متن کاملGaussian Process Based Dual Latent Function Approach to Ordinal Regression
The Gaussian process prior formulation introduced by us in this paper learns a mapping for ordinal regression task using dual sets of latent functions. In this formulation one set of latent functions are associated with data items and the other set of latent functions are associated with entities. An entity is a term introduced by us in this work to refer to the object responsible for assigning...
متن کاملSemi-Supervised Structured Output Learning Based on a Hybrid Generative and Discriminative Approach
This paper proposes a framework for semi-supervised structured output learning (SOL), specifically for sequence labeling, based on a hybrid generative and discriminative approach. We define the objective function of our hybrid model, which is written in log-linear form, by discriminatively combining discriminative structured predictor(s) with generative model(s) that incorporate unlabeled data....
متن کاملExploiting Unlabelled Data for Hybrid Object Classification
We propose a semi-supervised learning algorithm for visual object categorization which utilizes statistical information from unlabelled data to increase classification performance. We build on an earlier hybrid generative-discriminative approach by Holub et al. [6] which extracts Fisher scores from generative models. The hybrid model allows us to combine the modelling power and flexibility of g...
