Learning ranking (or preference) functions has been a major issue in the machine learning community and has produced many applications in information retrieval. SVMs (Support Vect...
Many classification tasks benefit from integrating manifold learning and semi-supervised learning. By formulating the learning task in a semi-supervised manner, we propose a novel...
We present some greedy learning algorithms for building sparse nonlinear regression and classification models from observational data using Mercer kernels. Our objective is to dev...

For large-scale classification problems, the training samples can be clustered beforehand as a downsampling pre-process, and then only the obtained clusters are used for training....
This paper concerns the use of real-valued functions for binary classification problems. Previous work in this area has concentrated on using as an error estimate the `resubstitut...
