Rasch-based high-dimensionality data reduction and class prediction with applications to microarray gene expression data [PDF]

Expert Systems with Applications, 2010;37(7):5178-5185, 2010
Class prediction is an important application of microarray gene expression data analysis. The high-dimensionality of microarray data, where number of genes (variables) is very large compared to the number of samples (obser- vations), makes the application of many prediction techniques (e.g., logistic regression, discriminant analysis) difficult.

Discriminative Viewer Identification using Generative Models of Eye Gaze [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We study the problem of identifying viewers of arbitrary images based on their eye gaze. Psychological research has derived generative stochastic models of eye movements. In order to exploit this background knowledge within a discriminatively trained classification model, we derive Fisher kernels from different generative models of eye gaze ...
