A linear programming technique is introduced that jointly performs feature selection and classifier training so that a subset of features is optimally selected together with the c...
We present a discriminative method for learning selectional preferences from unlabeled text. Positive examples are taken from observed predicate-argument pairs, while negatives ar...
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...
In region-based image annotation, keywords are usually associated with images instead of individual regions in the training data set. This poses a major challenge for any learning...
Abstract--Recently, sparse approximation has become a preferred method for learning large scale kernel machines. This technique attempts to represent the solution with only a subse...
