Web spam can significantly deteriorate the quality of search engines. Early web spamming techniques mainly manipulate page content. Since linkage information is widely used in we...
If we are to understand human-level intelligence, we need to understand how meanings can be learned without explicit instruction. I take a step toward that understanding by showing...
We present a new algorithm for minimizing a convex loss-function subject to regularization. Our framework applies to numerous problems in machine learning and statistics; notably,...
We determine the complexity of learning problems for unary regular languages. We begin by investigating the minimum consistent dfa (resp. nfa) problem which is known not to be app...
We introduce a boosting framework to solve a classification problem with added manifold and ambient regularization costs. It allows for a natural extension of boosting into both s...
