Random Forests were introduced by Breiman for feature (variable) selection and improved predictions for decision tree models. The resulting model is often superior to AdaBoost and ...

The problem of model selection for support vector machines (SVMs) is considered. We propose an evolutionary approach to determine multiple SVM hyperparameters: The covariance matr...
We introduce a family of kernels on discrete data structures within the general class of decomposition kernels. A weighted decomposition kernel (WDK) is computed by dividing objec...
We consider the problem of reconstructing patterns from a feature map. Learning algorithms using kernels to operate in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) express their solu...
A method is described which, like the kernel trick in support vector machines (SVMs), lets us generalize distance-based algorithms to operate in feature spaces, usually nonlinearl...
