A geometric construction is presented which is shown to be an effective tool for understanding and implementing multi-category support vector classification. It is demonstrated ho...
This paper presents a Support Vector Method for optimizing multivariate nonlinear performance measures like the F1score. Taking a multivariate prediction approach, we give an algo...
In this paper, we propose a unified non-quadratic loss function for regression known as soft insensitive loss function (SILF). SILF is a flexible model and possesses most of the d...
In the Support Vector Machines (SVM) framework, the positive-definite kernel can be seen as representing a fixed similarity measure between two patterns, and a discriminant func...
We study the problem of learning using combinations of machines. In particular we present new theoretical bounds on the generalization performance of voting ensembles of kernel ma...
