We consider the problem of numerical stability and model density growth when training a sparse linear model from massive data. We focus on scalable algorithms that optimize certain...
Discriminative learning methods are widely used in natural language processing. These methods work best when their training and test data are drawn from the same distribution. For...
- The classifier built from a data set with a highly skewed class distribution generally predicts the more frequently occurring classes much more often than the infrequently occurr...
In this paper, a new learning framework?probabilistic boosting-tree (PBT), is proposed for learning two-class and multi-class discriminative models. In the learning stage, the pro...
We address the issue of classifying complex data. We focus on three main sources of complexity, namely, the high dimensionality of the observed data, the dependencies between these...
