We study the problem of learning large margin halfspaces in various settings using coresets to show that coresets are a widely applicable tool for large margin learning. A large m...
We investigate the sparse eigenvalue problem which arises in various fields such as machine learning and statistics. Unlike standard approaches relying on approximation of the l0n...
The field of transfer learning aims to speed up learning across multiple related tasks by transferring knowledge between source and target tasks. Past work has shown that when th...
Abstract. In contrast to the standard inductive inference setting of predictive machine learning, in real world learning problems often the test instances are already available at ...
We investigate the problem of learning a widely-used latent-variable model – the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) or “topic” model – using distributed computation, where ...
