Kernel machines rely on an implicit mapping of the data such that non-linear classification in the original space corresponds to linear classification in the new space. As kernel ...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method for learning to rank. `Ranking SVM' is a method for performing the task. It formulizes the problem as that of binary classific...
Abstract. This work proposes a family of language-independent semantic kernel functions defined for individuals in an ontology. This allows exploiting wellfounded kernel methods fo...
: AUC-SVM directly maximizes the area under the ROC curve (AUC) through minimizing its hinge loss relaxation, and the decision function is determined by those support vector sample...
Semi-Supervised Support Vector Machines (S3VMs) typically directly estimate the label assignments for the unlabeled instances. This is often inefficient even with recent advances ...
