Functional Mixture Discriminant Analysis with hidden process regression for curve classification
We present a new mixture model-based discriminant analysis approach for
functional data using a specific hidden process regression model. The approach
allows for fitting flexible curve-models to each class of complex-shaped curves
presenting regime changes. The model parameters are learned by maximizing the
observed-data log-likelihood for each class by using a dedicated
expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Comparisons on simulated data with
alternative approaches show that the proposed approach provides better results.Comment: In Proceedings of the XXth European Symposium on Artificial Neural

Stochastic Low-Rank Kernel Learning for Regression
We present a novel approach to learn a kernel-based regression function. It
is based on the useof conical combinations of data-based parameterized kernels
and on a new stochastic convex optimization procedure of which we establish
convergence guarantees. The overall learning procedure has the nice properties
that a) the learned conical combination is automatically designed to perform
the regression task at hand and b) the updates implicated by the optimization
procedure are quite inexpensive. In order to shed light on the appositeness of
our learning strategy, we present empirical results from experiments conducted
on various benchmark datasets.Comment: International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML'11), Bellevue
