We study the problem of aggregating partial rankings. This problem is motivated by applications such as meta-searching and information retrieval, search engine spam fighting, e-c...
— Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) is often used to evaluate ranking performance in binary classification problems. Several researchers have approached AUC optimization by approxi...
Abstract. In the 2nd Annual FOCS (1961), Chao-Kong Chow proved that every Boolean threshold function is uniquely determined by its degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. These...
This paper describes a method of supervised learning based on forward selection branching. This method improves fault tolerance by means of combining information related to general...
Piecewise-linear (PWL) neural networks are widely known for their amenability to digital implementation. This paper presents a new algorithm for learning in PWL networks consistin...
