Robustness has become a popular issue in engineering. For products, Taguchi suggests to adjust the design so that product performance is insensitive to the effects of uncontrolled...
Feature selection is an important problem for pattern classification systems. Mutual information is a good indicator of relevance between variables, and has been used as a measure...
This paper introduces two new methods for label ranking based on a probabilistic model of ranking data, called the Plackett-Luce model. The idea of the first method is to use the ...
Prediction markets are used in real life to predict outcomes of interest such as presidential elections. In this work we introduce a mathematical theory for Artificial Prediction ...
In this paper we investigate random forest based language model adaptation. Large amounts of out-of-domain data are used to grow the decision trees while very small amounts of in-...
