Structured output prediction is an important machine learning problem both in theory and practice, and the max-margin Markov network (M3 N) is an effective approach. All state-of-...
Conditional random fields (CRF) are widely used for predicting output variables that have some internal structure. Most of the CRF research has been done on structured classificati...
Minimizing the rank of a matrix subject to constraints is a challenging problem that arises in many applications in machine learning, control theory, and discrete geometry. This c...
—A novel framework is proposed for the design of cost-sensitive boosting algorithms. The framework is based on the identification of two necessary conditions for optimal cost-sen...
Nonparametric methods are widely applicable to statistical learning problems, since they rely on a few modeling assumptions. In this context, the fresh look advocated here permeat...
