The recently introduced online confidence-weighted (CW) learning algorithm for binary classification performs well on many binary NLP tasks. However, for multi-class problems CW l...
We present a new method for regularized convex optimization and analyze it under both online and stochastic optimization settings. In addition to unifying previously known firstor...

We present a novel boosting algorithm, called SoftBoost, designed for sets of binary labeled examples that are not necessarily separable by convex combinations of base hypotheses....

RELIEF is considered one of the most successful algorithms for assessing the quality of features due to its simplicity and effectiveness. It has been recently proved that RELIEF i...
In this work, we extend the ellipsoid method, which was originally designed for convex optimization, for online learning. The key idea is to approximate by an ellipsoid the classi...
