We introduce a new formal model in which a learning algorithm must combine a collection of potentially poor but statistically independent hypothesis functions in order to approxima...
This paper presents a search algorithm for finding functions that are highly correlated with an arbitrary set of data. The functions found by the search can be used to approximate...
This paper presents a supervised manifold learning model for dimensionality reduction in image and video classification tasks. Unlike most manifold learning models that emphasize ...
Bayesian learning, widely used in many applied data-modeling problems, is often accomplished with approximation schemes because it requires intractable computation of the posterio...
In many image retrieval applications, the mapping between highlevel semantic concept and low-level features is obtained through a learning process. Traditional approaches often as...
