In this paper we address the problem of predicting when the available data is incomplete. We show that changing the generally accepted table-wise view of the sample items into a g...
Abstract--Feature selection is an important challenge in machine learning. Unfortunately, most methods for automating feature selection are designed for supervised learning tasks a...
We analyze the application of ensemble learning to recommender systems on the Netflix Prize dataset. For our analysis we use a set of diverse state-of-the-art collaborative filt...
We consider the task of devising large-margin based surrogate losses for the learning to rank problem. In this learning to rank setting, the traditional hinge loss for structured ...
We propose a family of learning algorithms based on a new form of regularization that allows us to exploit the geometry of the marginal distribution. We focus on a semi-supervised...
