Many applications in text processing require significant human effort for either labeling large document collections (when learning statistical models) or extrapolating rules from...
Kernel machines have been shown as the state-of-the-art learning techniques for classification. In this paper, we propose a novel general framework of learning the Unified Kernel ...
Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) provides a framework for training a discriminative classifier from data with ambiguous labels. This framework is well suited for the task of learni...

Latent Variable Models (LVM), like the Shared-GPLVM
and the Spectral Latent Variable Model, help mitigate over-
fitting when learning discriminative methods from small or
modera...
It is well known that different types of social ties have essentially different influence between people. However, users in online social networks rarely categorize their contact...
