Closing the semantic gap in content based image retrieval (CBIR) basically requires the knowledge of the user's intention which is usually translated into a sequence of quest...
Many data mining applications have a large amount of data but labeling data is often difficult, expensive, or time consuming, as it requires human experts for annotation. Semi-supe...
We present novel semi-supervised boosting algorithms that incrementally build linear combinations of weak classifiers through generic functional gradient descent using both labele...
The success of simple methods for classification shows that is is often not necessary to model complex attribute interactions to obtain good classification accuracy on practical p...

Recent empirical work has shown that combining predictors can lead to significant reduction in generalization error. The individual predictors (weak learners) can be very simple, ...
