In this paper, we propose a probabilistic kernel approach to preference learning based on Gaussian processes. A new likelihood function is proposed to capture the preference relat...
We investigate using gradient descent methods for learning ranking functions; we propose a simple probabilistic cost function, and we introduce RankNet, an implementation of these...

We examine the relationship between the predictions made by different learning algorithms and true posterior probabilities. We show that maximum margin methods such as boosted tre...
Standardisation of learning technologies as a coordinated design activity needs legitimacy to attract the necessary support from its stakeholders. This paper identifies the need f...
In this paper, we propose to use hypergraphs as the model for images and pose image segmentation as a machine learning problem in which some pixels (called seeds) are labeled as t...
