We consider the model selection problem for support vector machines applied to binary classification. As the data generating process is unknown, we have to rely on heuristics as mo...
We develop a new multiclass classification method that reduces the multiclass problem to a single binary classifier (SBC). Our method constructs the binary problem by embedding sm...
Recently, evolutionary computation has been successfully integrated into statistical learning methods. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) using evolution strategies for its optimizati...
Matching Pursuit algorithms learn a function that is a weighted sum of basis functions, by sequentially appending functions to an initially empty basis, to approximate a target fu...
In this paper we propose an alternative interpretation of Bayesian learning based on maximal evidence principle. We establish a notion of local evidence which can be viewed as a c...
