Improved Statistical Alignment Models

by Franz Josef Och, Hermann Ney - In Proceedings of the 38th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics , 2000
"... In this paper, we present and compare various single-word based alignment models for statistical machine translation. We discuss the five IBM alignment models, the Hidden-Markov alignment model, smoothing techniques and various modifications. ..."

Monte Carlo Statistical Methods

by Christian P. Robert, George Casella , 1998
"... This paper is also the originator of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods developed in the following chapters. The potential of these two simultaneous innovations has been discovered much latter by statisticians (Hastings 1970; Geman and Geman 1984) than by of physicists (see also Kirkpatrick et al. ..."

Directional Statistics and Shape Analysis

by K. V. Mardia , 1995
"... There have been various developments in shape analysis in the last decade. We describe here some relationships of shape analysis with directional statistics. For shape, rotations are to be integrated out or to be optimized over whilst they are the basis for directional statistics. However, various c ..."

concepts are connected. In particular, certain distributions of directional statistics have emerged in shape analysis, such a distribution is Complex Bingham Distribution. This paper first gives some background to shape analysis and then it goes on to directional distributions and their applications

Blind Signal Separation: Statistical Principles

by Jean-Francois Cardoso , 2003
"... Blind signal separation (BSS) and independent component analysis (ICA) are emerging techniques of array processing and data analysis, aiming at recovering unobserved signals or `sources' from observed mixtures (typically, the output of an array of sensors), exploiting only the assumption of mut ..."

of mutual independence between the signals. The weakness of the assumptions makes it a powerful approach but requires to venture beyond familiar second order statistics. The objective of this paper is to review some of the approaches that have been recently developed to address this exciting problem

Accurate Methods for the Statistics of Surprise and Coincidence

by Ted Dunning - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1993
"... Much work has been done on the statistical analysis of text. In some cases reported in the literature, inappropriate statistical methods have been used, and statistical significance of results have not been addressed. In particular, asymptotic normality assumptions have often been used unjustifiably ..."

Statistical pattern recognition: A review

by Anil K. Jain, Robert P. W. Duin, Jianchang Mao - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... The primary goal of pattern recognition is supervised or unsupervised classification. Among the various frameworks in which pattern recognition has been traditionally formulated, the statistical approach has been most intensively studied and used in practice. More recently, neural network techniques ..."

An evaluation of statistical approaches to text categorization

by Yiming Yang - Journal of Information Retrieval , 1999
"... Abstract. This paper focuses on a comparative evaluation of a wide-range of text categorization methods, including previously published results on the Reuters corpus and new results of additional experiments. A controlled study using three classifiers, kNN, LLSF and WORD, was conducted to examine th ..."

Minimum Error Rate Training in Statistical Machine Translation

by Franz Josef Och , 2003
"... Often, the training procedure for statistical machine translation models is based on maximum likelihood or related criteria. A general problem of this approach is that there is only a loose relation to the final translation quality on unseen text. In this paper, we analyze various training cri ..."

Three Generative, Lexicalised Models for Statistical Parsing

by Michael Collins , 1997
"... In this paper we first propose a new statistical parsing model, which is a generative model of lexicalised context-free gram- mar. We then extend the model to in- clude a probabilistic treatment of both subcategorisation and wh~movement. Results on Wall Street Journal text show that the parse ..."
