Ensemble learning algorithms such as boosting can achieve better performance by averaging over the predictions of some base hypotheses. Nevertheless, most existing algorithms are ...
We present some greedy learning algorithms for building sparse nonlinear regression and classification models from observational data using Mercer kernels. Our objective is to dev...

We discuss the problem of fitting an implicit shape model to a set of points sampled from a co-dimension one manifold of arbitrary topology. The method solves a non-convex optimis...

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method for learning to rank. `Ranking SVM' is a method for performing the task. It formulizes the problem as that of binary classific...
We introduce standardised building blocks designed to be used with variational Bayesian learning. The blocks include Gaussian variables, summation, multiplication, nonlinearity, a...
