We propose a framework MIC (Multiple Inclusion Criterion) for learning sparse models based on the information theoretic Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle. MIC provides an...

Abstract. It is well known that diversity among component classifiers is crucial for constructing a strong ensemble. Most existing ensemble methods achieve this goal through resam...
We consider the problem of learning a sparse multi-task regression, where the structure in the outputs can be represented as a tree with leaf nodes as outputs and internal nodes a...
Multi-task learning aims at combining information across tasks to boost prediction performance, especially when the number of training samples is small and the number of predictor...
In this paper we describe an empirical study of human-human multi-tasking dialogues (MTD), where people perform multiple verbal tasks overlapped in time. We examined how conversan...
