A relational probability tree (RPT) is a type of decision tree that can be used for probabilistic classification of instances with a relational structure. Each leaf of an RPT cont...
This paper presents a stagewise least square (SLS) loss function for classification. It uses a least square form within each stage to approximate a bounded monotonic nonconvex los...
Although clustering under constraints is a current research topic, a hierarchical setting, in which a hierarchy of clusters is the goal, is usually not considered. This paper trie...
As an alternative to vector representations, a recent trend in image classification suggests to integrate additional structural information in the description of images in order to...
Many information integration tasks require computing similarity between pairs of objects. Pairwise similarity computations are particularly important in record linkage systems, as...
