Recent approaches to learning structured predictors often require approximate inference for tractability; yet its effects on the learned model are unclear. Meanwhile, most learnin...
Gradient Boosted Regression Trees (GBRT) are the current state-of-the-art learning paradigm for machine learned websearch ranking — a domain notorious for very large data sets. ...

Abstract. Ensemble learning is a powerful learning approach that combines multiple classifiers to improve prediction accuracy. An important decision while using an ensemble of cla...
Abstract. We describe methods for high-performance and high-quality rendering of point models, including advanced shading, anti-aliasing, and transparency. we keep the rendering qu...
