We study the problem of clustering discrete probability distributions with respect to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. This problem arises naturally in many applications. Our...
The performance of many supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms is very sensitive to the choice of an appropriate distance metric. Previous work in metric learning and ada...
Emotions have a functional relevance to learning and achievement. Not surprisingly then, affective diagnoses are an important aspect of expert human mentoring. Computerbased learni...
A large body of prior research on coreference resolution recasts the problem as a two-class classification problem. However, standard supervised machine learning algorithms that m...
We study an algorithm for feature selection that clusters attributes using a special metric and then makes use of the dendrogram of the resulting cluster hierarchy to choose the m...
