Optimizing Classifier Performance via an Approximation to the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Statistic
When the goal is to achieve the best correct classification rate, cross entropy and mean squared error are typical cost functions used to optimize classifier performance. However,...

Bayesian Hyperspectral Image Segmentation with Discriminative Class Learning
Abstract. This paper presents a new Bayesian approach to hyperspectral image segmentation that boosts the performance of the discriminative classifiers. This is achieved by combin...

Minimum cost subpartitions in graphs
Given an edge-weighted graph G = (V,E), a subset S ⊆ V , an integer k 1 and a real b 0, the minimum subpartition problem asks to find a family of k nonempty disjoint subsets X1...

Free Bits, PCPs, and Nonapproximability-Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...

Near-optimal algorithms for unique games
Unique games are constraint satisfaction problems that can be viewed as a generalization of Max-Cut to a larger domain size. The Unique Games Conjecture states that it is hard to ...
