Recent advances in linear classification have shown that for applications such as document classification, the training can be extremely efficient. However, most of the existing t...
This paper introduces a partition of the possible forms of knowledge according to their rela tionship to the basic objective of an intelligent agent, namely to act successfully ...
This paper presents an online support vector machine (SVM) that uses the stochastic meta-descent (SMD) algorithm to adapt its step size automatically. We formulate the online lear...

Traditional face recognition systems attempt to achieve a high recognition accuracy, which implicitly assumes that the losses of all misclassifications are the same. However, in m...
We consider the problem of decentralized detection under constraints on the number of bits that can be transmitted by each sensor. In contrast to most previous work, in which the ...
