This article proposes an algorithm to automatically learn useful transformations of data to improve accuracy in supervised classification tasks. These transformations take the for...
—Semi-supervised learning concerns the problem of learning in the presence of labeled and unlabeled data. Several boosting algorithms have been extended to semi-supervised learni...
A cost-sensitive extension of boosting, denoted as asymmetric boosting, is presented. Unlike previous proposals, the new algorithm is derived from sound decision-theoretic princip...
In this paper we discuss boosting algorithms that maximize the soft margin of the produced linear combination of base hypotheses. LPBoost is the most straightforward boosting algor...

Most test collections (like TREC and CLEF) for experimental research in information retrieval apply binary relevance assessments. This paper introduces a four-point relevance scal...
