We address the problem of learning distance metrics using side-information in the form of groups of "similar" points. We propose to use the RCA algorithm, which is a sim...
In many practical engineering design problems, the form of objective function is not given explicitly in terms of design variables. Given the value of design variables, under this ...
Abstract. In this paper we develop an algorithm for structured prediction that optimizes against complex performance measures, those which are a function of false positive and fals...
Abstract. Inspired by observing fireworks explosion, a novel swarm intelligence algorithm, called Fireworks Algorithm (FA), is proposed for global optimization of complex function...
We study a method of optimal data-driven aggregation of classifiers in a convex combination and establish tight upper bounds on its excess risk with respect to a convex loss funct...
