Abstract. We develop a new error bound for transductive learning algorithms. The slack term in the new bound is a function of a relaxed notion of transductive stability, which meas...
We introduce a semi-supervised support vector machine (S3 VM) method. Given a training set of labeled data and a working set of unlabeled data, S3 VM constructs a support vector m...
A fundamental assumption for any machine learning task is to have training and test data instances drawn from the same distribution while having a sufficiently large number of tra...
Many settings of unsupervised learning can be viewed as quantization problems — the minimization of the expected quantization error subject to some restrictions. This allows the ...

In this paper we address two aspects related to the exploitation of Support Vector Machines (SVM) for classification in real application domains, such as the detection of objects ...
