A recommender system has to collect users' preference data. To collect such data, rating or scoring methods that use rating scales, such as good-fair-poor or a five-point-sca...
Abstract. Tuning hyper-parameters is a necessary step to improve learning algorithm performances. For Support Vector Machine classifiers, adjusting kernel parameters increases dra...
We present a new Bi-level LSH algorithm to perform approximate k-nearest neighbor search in high dimensional spaces. Our formulation is based on a two-level scheme. In the first ...
In order to help users navigate an image search system, one could provide explicit information on a small set of images as to which of them are relevant or not to their task. Thes...
The nearest-neighbour (1NN) classifier has long been used in pattern recognition, exploratory data analysis, and data mining problems. A vital consideration in obtaining good res...
