In this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. In other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. First, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. Then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (TFN). This paper com...

This paper investigates a probabilistic speaker identification method based on the dual Penalized Logistic Regression Machines (dPLRMs). The machines employ kernel functions which map an acoustic feature space to a higher dimensional space as is the case with the Support Vector Machines (SVMs). Nonlinearity in discriminating each speaker is implicitly handled in this space. While SVMs maximize ...

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 grammars. Our model extends the correlated topic model framework to probabilistic grammars, exploiting the logistic normal distribution as a prior over the grammar parameters. We derive a variational EM algorithm for tha...

With the rising amount of available multilingual text data, computational linguistics faces an opportunity and a challenge. This text can enrich the domains of NLP applications and improve their performance. Traditional supervised learning for this kind of data would require annotation of part of this text for induction of natural language structure. For these large amounts of rich text, such a...

Forecast reconciliation is an important research topic. Yet, there currently neither formal framework nor practical method for the probabilistic of count time series. In this paper we propose a definition coherency and reconciled forecast which applies to both real-valued variables novel reconciliation. It based on generalization Bayes' rule it can reconcile real-value variables. When applied v...
