A method and apparatus are provided for adapting a language model to a task-specific domain. Under the method and apparatus, the relative frequency of n-grams in a small training set (i.e. task-specific training data set) and the relative frequency of n-grams in a large training set (i.e. out-of-domain training data set) are used to weight a distribution count of n-grams in the large training set. The weighted distributions are then used to form a modified language model by identifying probabilities for n-grams from the weighted distributions.

A technique for determining a characteristic of a face or certain other object within a scene captured in a digital image including acquiring an image and applying a linear texture model that is constructed based on a training data set and that includes a class of objects including a first subset of model components that exhibit a dependency on directional lighting variations and a second subset of model components which are independent of directional lighting variations. A fit of the model to the face or certain other object is obtained including adjusting one or more individual values of one or more of the model components of the linear texture model. Based on the obtained fit of the model to the face or certain other object in the scene, a characteristic of the face or certain other object is determined.

The similarity between two data objects of the same type (e.g., two resumes, two job descriptions, etc.) is determined using predictive modeling. A basic assumption is that training datasets are available containing compatibility measures between objects of the first type and data objects of a second type, but that training datasets measuring similarity between objects of the first type are not. A first predictive model is trained to assess compatibility between data objects of a first type and data objects of a second type. Then, in one scenario, pairs of objects of the first type are compared for similarity by running them through the first predictive model as if one object of the pair is an object of the first type and the other object of the pair is an object of the second type. Alternatively, for each object in a set of objects of the first type, the first predictive model is used to create a respective vector of compatibility scores against a fixed set of objects of the second type; these various vectors are then used to derive measures of similarity between pairs of objects of the first type, from which a second predictive model is trained, and the second predictive model is then used to assess the similarity of pairs of objects of the first type.

A method (and structure) generates a classifier for an anomalous detection monitor for a target user on a system or application used by a plurality of users and includes providing an access to a memory device storing user data samples for all users of the plurality of users. A target user is selected from among the plurality of users. Data samples for the target user and data samples for other users of the plurality of users are used to generate a normal sample data set and an abnormal (anomalous) sample data set to serve as a training data set for training a model for an anomaly detection monitor for the target user.

The invention discloses a multi-pose eye positioning algorithm based on the cascaded convolutional neural network, belongs to the machine learning and computer vision field and is suitable for intelligent systems such as face recognition, sight tracking and driver fatigue detection. The method comprises steps that face pictures marked with various types of information are collected to form a training data set; the multi-task cascaded convolutional neural network is constructed; the training data set is utilized to train the network to acquire a network model; and lastly, the network model is utilized to detect faces and face key points of the pictures, and the smallest rectangular box containing the eye key points is selected as the eye positioning result. The method is advantaged in thatthe multi-task cascading convolutional neural network is utilized to accomplish face detection and face key point detection, so the multi-pose eye positioning effect is obviously improved.

Method and apparatus for training a system model with gain constraints. A method is disclosed for training a steady-state model, the model having an input and an output and a mapping layer for mapping the input to the output through a stored representation of a system. A training data set is provided having a set of input data u(t) and target output data y(t) representative of the operation of a system. The model is trained with a predetermined training algorithm which is constrained to maintain the sensitivity of the output with respect to the input substantially within user defined constraint bounds by iteratively minimizing an objective function as a function of a data objective and a constraint objective. The data objective has a data fitting learning rate and the constraint objective has constraint learning rate that are varied as a function of the values of the data objective and the constraint objective after selective iterative steps.
