Multi-task learning (MTL) aims to improve generalization performance by learning multiple related tasks simultaneously. In this paper, we consider the problem of learning shared s...
In many prediction tasks, selecting relevant features is essential for achieving good generalization performance. Most feature selection algorithms consider all features to be a p...

When learning a classical instrument, people often either take lessons in which an existing body of “technique” is delivered, evolved over generations of performers, or in som...
Recently, sparse coding has been receiving much attention in object and scene recognition tasks because of its superiority in learning an effective codebook over k-means clusterin...
