Background: Support Vector Machines (SVMs) provide a powerful method for classification (supervised learning). Use of SVMs for clustering (unsupervised learning) is now being cons...
We apply robust Bayesian decision theory to improve both generative and discriminative learners under bias in class proportions in labeled training data, when the true class propo...
We introduce a novel active learning algorithm for classification of network data. In this setting, training instances are connected by a set of links to form a network, the label...
This paper addresses the training of classification trees for weakly labelled data. We call ”weakly labelled data”, a training set such as the prior labelling information pro...
Past empirical work has shown that learning multiple related tasks from data simultaneously can be advantageous in terms of predictive performance relative to learning these tasks...
