In many design tasks it is difficult to explicitly define an objective function. This paper uses machine learning to derive an objective in a feature space based on selected examp...
Most of the existing active learning algorithms are based on the realizability assumption: The learner’s hypothesis class is assumed to contain a target function that perfectly c...
Output coding is a general framework for solving multiclass categorization problems. Previous research on output codes has focused on building multiclass machines given predefine...
The standard approach for learning Markov Models with Hidden State uses the Expectation-Maximization framework. While this approach had a significant impact on several practical ap...
In this paper we eliminate the need for parameter estimation associated with the set covering machine (SCM) by directly minimizing generalization error bounds. Firstly, we consider...
