In this paper we unify two supposedly distinct tasks in multimedia retrieval. One task involves answering queries with a few examples. The other involves learning models for seman...
Background: Support Vector Machines (SVMs) provide a powerful method for classification (supervised learning). Use of SVMs for clustering (unsupervised learning) is now being cons...
We describe and analyze a simple and effective iterative algorithm for solving the optimization problem cast by Support Vector Machines (SVM). Our method alternates between stocha...
Recently, instead of selecting a single kernel, multiple kernel learning (MKL) has been proposed which uses a convex combination of kernels, where the weight of each kernel is opt...
Wearable physiological sensors can provide a faithful record of a patient’s physiological states without constant attention of caregivers. A computer program that can infer huma...
