We develop the notion of normalized information distance (NID) [7] into a kernel distance suitable for use with a Support Vector Machine classifier, and demonstrate its use for an...
The Support Vector Machine error bound is a function of the margin and radius. Standard SVM algorithms maximize the margin within a given feature space, therefore the radius is fi...
We consider quantitatively establishing the discriminative power of iris biometric data. It is difficult, however, to establish that any biometric modality is capable of distingui...
When constructing a classifier, the probability of correct classification of future data points should be maximized. We consider a binary classification problem where the mean and...
