Most current multi-task learning frameworks ignore the robustness issue, which means that the presence of "outlier" tasks may greatly reduce overall system performance. ...
We consider the problem of multi-task learning, that is, learning multiple related functions. Our approach is based on a hierarchical Bayesian framework, that exploits the equival...
Support Vector Machines (SVMs), though accurate, are still difficult to solve large-scale applications, due to the computational and storage requirement. To relieve this problem,...
Bayesian networks (BNs) are used to represent and ef ciently compute with multi-variate probability distributions in a wide range of disciplines. One of the main approaches to per...
Background: A key challenge in metabonomics is to uncover quantitative associations between multidimensional spectroscopic data and biochemical measures used for disease risk asse...
