Abstract. The protein family classification problem, which consists of determining the family memberships of given unknown protein sequences, is very important for a biologist for ...
We consider support vector machines for binary classification. As opposed to most approaches we use the number of support vectors (the "L0 norm") as a regularizing term ...
Question classification plays an important role in question answering. Features are the key to obtain an accurate question classifier. In contrast to Li and Roth (2002)'s app...
Learning a robust projection with a small number of training samples is still a challenging problem in face recognition, especially when the unseen faces have extreme variation in...
We present an algorithm for large-scale equality constrained optimization. The method is based on a characterization of inexact sequential quadratic programming (SQP) steps that ca...
