For many supervised learning tasks it is very costly to produce training data with class labels. Active learning acquires data incrementally, at each stage using the model learned...
The quality of large-scale recommendation systems has been insufficient in terms of the accuracy of prediction. One of the major reasons is caused by the sparsity of the samples, ...
Most of the existing active learning algorithms are based on the realizability assumption: The learner’s hypothesis class is assumed to contain a target function that perfectly c...
This paper provides a probabilistic derivation of an identity connecting the square loss of ridge regression in on-line mode with the loss of a retrospectively best regressor. Some...
Latent Variable Models (LVM), like the Shared-GPLVM
and the Spectral Latent Variable Model, help mitigate over-
fitting when learning discriminative methods from small or
modera...
