In many important text classification problems, acquiring class labels for training documents is costly, while gathering large quantities of unlabeled data is cheap. This paper sh...

Suppose x and y are unit 2-norm n-vectors whose components sum to zero. Let P(x, y) be the polygon obtained by connecting (x1, y1), . . . , (xn, yn), (x1, y1) in order. We say that...
Deceptive problems have been considered difficult for ant colony optimization (ACO) and it was believed that ACO will fail to converge to global optima of deceptive problems. Thi...
We give an unified convergence analysis of ensemble learning methods including e.g. AdaBoost, Logistic Regression and the Least-SquareBoost algorithm for regression. These methods...
We investigate a new, fast and provably convergentMAP reconstruction algorithm for emission tomography. The new algorithm, termed C-OSEM has its origin in the alternating algorith...
