On the Equivalence of Weak Learnability and Linear Separability: New Relaxations and Efficient Boosting Algorithms
Boosting algorithms build highly accurate prediction mechanisms from a collection of lowaccuracy predictors. To do so, they employ the notion of weak-learnability. The starting po...

Boosting margin based distance functions for clustering
The performance of graph based clustering methods critically depends on the quality of the distance function, used to compute similarities between pairs of neighboring nodes. In t...

Large-Margin Thresholded Ensembles for Ordinal Regression: Theory and Practice
Abstract. We propose a thresholded ensemble model for ordinal regression problems. The model consists of a weighted ensemble of confidence functions and an ordered vector of thres...

On the design of robust classifiers for computer vision
The design of robust classifiers, which can contend with the noisy and outlier ridden datasets typical of computer vision, is studied. It is argued that such robustness requires l...
