A new incremental learning algorithm is described which approximates the maximal margin hyperplane w.r.t. norm p 2 for a set of linearly separable data. Our algorithm, called alm...
When the goal is to achieve the best correct classification rate, cross entropy and mean squared error are typical cost functions used to optimize classifier performance. However,...

In the standard model of observational learning, n agents sequentially decide between two alternatives a or b, one of which is objectively superior. Their choice is based on a stoc...

We describe a novel framework for class noise mitigation that assigns a vector of class membership probabilities to each training instance, and uses the confidence on the current ...
Mixtures of Gaussians are among the most fundamental and widely used statistical models. Current techniques for learning such mixtures from data are local search heuristics with w...
