We propose to study links between three important classification algorithms: Perceptrons, Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs). We first study ways to...
This paper1 explores the use of a Maximal Average Margin (MAM) optimality principle for the design of learning algorithms. It is shown that the application of this risk minimizati...

: AUC-SVM directly maximizes the area under the ROC curve (AUC) through minimizing its hinge loss relaxation, and the decision function is determined by those support vector sample...
We propose a new family of latent variable models called max-margin min-entropy (m3e) models, which define a distribution over the output and the hidden variables conditioned on ...

We present an information theoretic approach for learning a linear dimension reduction transform for object classification. The theoretic guidance of the approach is that the trans...
