Hierarchical mixtures of experts and the EM algorithm

MI Jordan, RA Jacobs - Neural computation, 1994 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a tree-structured architecture for supervised learning. The statistical model
underlying the architecture is a hierarchical mixture model in which both the mixture coefficients …

Increased rates of convergence through learning rate adaptation

RA Jacobs - Neural networks, 1988 - Elsevier
While there exist many techniques for finding the parameters that minimize an error function,
only those methods that solely perform local computations are used in connectionist …

English transformational grammar.

RA Jacobs, PS Rosenbaum - 1968 - ERIC
The authors present for the undergraduate and graduate linguistics student a transformational
approach to the study of English grammar. Their discussion begins with a description of …

Bayesian integration of visual and auditory signals for spatial localization

PW Battaglia, RA Jacobs, RN Aslin - Josa a, 2003 - opg.optica.org
Human observers localize events in the world by using sensory signals from multiple
modalities. We evaluated two theories of spatial localization that predict how visual and auditory …
