While methods for comparing two learning algorithms on a single data set have been scrutinized for quite some time already, the issue of statistical tests for comparisons of more ...
This paper introduces RankOpt, a linear binary classifier which optimises the area under the ROC curve (the AUC). Unlike standard binary classifiers, RankOpt adopts the AUC stat...
The problem of computing low rank approximations of matrices is considered. The novel aspect of our approach is that the low rank approximations are on a collection of matrices. W...
Abstract. This paper studies a risk minimization approach to estimate a transformation model from noisy observations. It is argued that transformation models are a natural candidat...

We propose a new method for comparing learning algorithms on multiple tasks which is based on a novel non-parametric test that we call the Poisson binomial test. The key aspect of...
