An ensemble is a set of learned models that make decisions collectively. Although an ensemble is usually more accurate than a single learner, existing ensemble methods often tend ...
In many applications it is desirable to learn from several kernels. "Multiple kernel learning" (MKL) allows the practitioner to optimize over linear combinations of kern...
One aim of Meta-learning techniques is to minimize the time needed for problem solving, and the effort of parameter hand-tuning, by automating algorithm selection. The predictive m...
(Automatic) document classification is generally defined as content-based assignment of one or more predefined categories to documents. Usually, machine learning, statistical patt...
Many facial image analysis methods rely on learningbased techniques such as Adaboost or SVMs to project classifiers based on the selection of local image filters (e.g., Haar and...
