The field of Genetic Algorithms has grown into a huge area over the last few years. Genetic Algorithms are adaptive methods, which can be used to solve search and optimisation pro...
Sparse methods for supervised learning aim at finding good linear predictors from as few variables as possible, i.e., with small cardinality of their supports. This combinatorial ...
In recent years, a fundamental problem structure has emerged as very useful in a variety of machine learning applications: Submodularity is an intuitive diminishing returns proper...
We treat feature selection and basis selection in a unified framework by introducing the masking matrix. If one considers feature selection as finding a binary mask vector that de...
Our goal is to automatically learn a perceptually-optimal target cost function for a unit selection speech synthesiser. The approach we take here is to train a classifier on human...
