Automated feature discovery is a fundamental problem in machine learning. Although classical feature discovery methods do not guarantee optimal solutions in general, it has been r...
Training a system to recognize handwritten words is a task that requires a large amount of data with their correct transcription. However, the creation of such a training set, inc...
We study the potential benefits to classification prediction that arise from having access to unlabeled samples. We compare learning in the semi-supervised model to the standard, ...
We apply a new active learning formulation to the problem of learning medical concepts from unstructured text. The new formulation is based on maximizing the mutual information th...
We develop a semi-supervised learning method that constrains the posterior distribution of latent variables under a generative model to satisfy a rich set of feature expectation c...
