Collaborative and content-based filtering are two paradigms that have been applied in the context of recommender systems and user preference prediction. This paper proposes a nove...
We call data weakly labeled if it has no exact label but rather a numerical indication of correctness of the label "guessed" by the learning algorithm - a situation comm...
This paper presents an original approach to modelling user’s information need in text filtering environment. This approach relies on a specific novelty detection model which a...
We present a new online learning algorithm in the selective sampling framework, where labels must be actively queried before they are revealed. We prove bounds on the regret of ou...
A general framework is proposed for gradient boosting in supervised learning problems where the loss function is defined using a kernel over the output space. It extends boosting ...
