Abstract--A crucial issue in designing learning machines is to select the correct model parameters. When the number of available samples is small, theoretical sample-based generali...
Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) combined with feature ranking is an effective technique for eliminating irrelevant features when the feature dimension is large, but it is diffi...

We consider the problem of fitting a large-scale covariance matrix to multivariate Gaussian data in such a way that the inverse is sparse, thus providing model selection. Beginnin...

Kernel methods have been successfully applied to many machine learning problems. Nevertheless, since the performance of kernel methods depends heavily on the type of kernels being...

We introduce a new algorithm for binary classification in the selective sampling protocol. Our algorithm uses Regularized Least Squares (RLS) as base classifier, and for this reas...
