Regularized Kernel Discriminant Analysis (RKDA) performs linear discriminant analysis in the feature space via the kernel trick. The performance of RKDA depends on the selection o...
In recent years, active learning methods based on experimental design achieve state-of-the-art performance in text classification applications. Although these methods can exploit ...
Learning object categories from small samples is a challenging problem, where machine learning tools can in general provide very few guarantees. Exploiting prior knowledge may be ...
