A good distance metric is crucial for many data mining tasks. To learn a metric in the unsupervised setting, most metric learning algorithms project observed data to a lowdimensio...
Recently, in generic object recognition research, a classification technique based on integration of image features is garnering much attention. However, with a classifying techn...
In the wrapperapproachto feature subset selection, a searchfor an optimalset of features is madeusingthe induction algorithm as a black box. Theestimated future performanceof the ...
A central problem in learning is selection of an appropriate model. This is typically done by estimating the unknown generalization errors of a set of models to be selected from a...
In support vector machines (SVM), the kernel functions which compute dot product in feature space significantly affect the performance of classifiers. Each kernel function is suit...
