As with any application of machine learning, web search ranking requires labeled data. The labels usually come in the form of relevance assessments made by editors. Click logs can...
Bayesian learning in undirected graphical models--computing posterior distributions over parameters and predictive quantities-is exceptionally difficult. We conjecture that for ge...
Bayesian approaches to supervised learning use priors on the classifier parameters. However, few priors aim at achieving "sparse" classifiers, where irrelevant/redundant...
In supervised machine learning, variable ranking aims at sorting the input variables according to their relevance w.r.t. an output variable. In this paper, we propose a new relevan...
