We propose a local, generative model for similarity-based classification. The method is applicable to the case that only pairwise similarities between samples are available. The c...
Syntactic reordering on the source-side is an effective way of handling word order differences. The (DE) construction is a flexible and ubiquitous syntactic structure in Chinese w...
One of the difficulties of Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is the gap between high-level concepts and low-level image features, e.g., color and texture. Relevance feedback wa...
We establish a mistake bound for an ensemble method for classification based on maximizing the entropy of voting weights subject to margin constraints. The bound is the same as a ...
The problem of detecting "atypical objects" or "outliers" is one of the classical topics in (robust) statistics. Recently, it has been proposed to address this...
