Abstract. We consider the design of online master algorithms for combining the predictions from a set of experts where the absolute loss of the master is to be close to the absolut...

In this paper, we formulate the image matting as one of solving energy minimization problems. Our approach has the following advantages. First, the matte estimation is modeled usin...
This paper1 explores the use of a Maximal Average Margin (MAM) optimality principle for the design of learning algorithms. It is shown that the application of this risk minimizati...

We consider the general, widely applicable problem of selecting from n real-valued random variables a subset of size m of those with the highest means, based on as few samples as ...
When only a small number of labeled samples are available, supervised dimensionality reduction methods tend to perform poorly due to overfitting. In such cases, unlabeled samples ...
