Collaborative Filtering (CF) requires user-rated training examples for statistical inference about the preferences of new users. Active learning strategies identify the most infor...
In this paper we present a variational Bayes (VB) framework for learning continuous hidden Markov models (CHMMs), and we examine the VB framework within active learning. Unlike a ...
Abstract We present an active learning framework that predicts the tradeoff between the effort and information gain associated with a candidate image annotation, thereby ranking un...
Discovering rare categories and classifying new instances of them is
an important data mining issue in many fields, but fully supervised
learning of a rare class classifier is pr...
Abstract. Designs of micro electro-mechanical devices need to be robust against fluctuations in mass production. Computer experiments with tens of parameters are used to explore th...
