We examine the so-called rigorous support vector machine (RSVM) approach proposed by Vapnik (1998). The formulation of RSVM is derived by explicitly implementing the structural ris...
In this paper, we consider the scenario that a population-based algorithm is applied to a numerical optimization problem and a solution needs to be presented within a given time bu...
This paper presents an approach to automatically optimizing the retrieval quality of search engines using clickthrough data. Intuitively, a good information retrieval system shoul...
This paper considers a method for learning a distance metric in a fingerprinting system which identifies a query content by measuring the distance between the fingerprint of th...
We address the problem of finding the most likely assignment or MAP estimation in a Markov random field. We analyze the linear programming formulation of MAP through the lens of...
