This paper investigates the application of randomized algorithms for large scale SVM learning. The key contribution of the paper is to show that, by using ideas random projections...
Learning application-specific distance metrics from labeled data is critical for both statistical classification and information retrieval. Most of the earlier work in this area h...
This paper extends previous studies on learnability in non-acceptable numberings by considering the question: for which criteria which numberings are optimal, that is, for which nu...
Recently, the so-called Support Feature Machine (SFM) was proposed as a novel approach to feature selection for classification, based on minimisation of the zero norm of a separati...
Distance-based methods in machine learning and pattern recognition have to rely on a metric distance between points in the input space. Instead of specifying a metric a priori, we...
