Phylogenetic profiles of proteins − strings of ones and zeros encoding respectively the presence and absence of proteins in a group of genomes − have recently been used to iden...
Previous work on Natural Language Processing for Information Retrieval has shown the inadequateness of semantic and syntactic structures for both document retrieval and categoriza...
In many applications involving multi-media data, the definition of similarity between items is integral to several key tasks, including nearest-neighbor retrieval, classification,...
In this paper we present a statistical learning scheme for image classification based on a mixture of old fashioned ideas and state of the art learning tools. We represent input i...
When equipped with kernel functions, online learning algorithms are susceptible to the "curse of kernelization" that causes unbounded growth in the model size. To addres...
