In the Support Vector Machines (SVM) framework, the positive-definite kernel can be seen as representing a fixed similarity measure between two patterns, and a discriminant func...
This paper presents a novel approach for using clickthrough data to learn ranked retrieval functions for web search results. We observe that users searching the web often perform ...
The multiple-instance learning (MIL) model has been very successful in application areas such as drug discovery and content-based imageretrieval. Recently, a generalization of thi...

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for classification tasks produce sparse models by maximizing the margin. Two limitations of this technique are considered in this work: firstly, th...
Margin maximizing properties play an important role in the analysis of classi£cation models, such as boosting and support vector machines. Margin maximization is theoretically in...
