In this paper we propose a novel method for learning a Mahalanobis distance measure to be used in the KNN classification algorithm. The algorithm directly maximizes a stochastic v...

The support vector machine (SVM) is a widely used tool for classification. Many efficient implementations exist for fitting a two-class SVM model. The user has to supply values fo...

Motivated by the particular problems involved in communicating with "locked-in" paralysed patients, we aim to develop a braincomputer interface that uses auditory stimul...

Belief propagation (BP) is an increasingly popular method of performing approximate inference on arbitrary graphical models. At times, even further approximations are required, wh...

A new distance measure between probability density functions (pdfs) is introduced, which we refer to as the Laplacian pdf distance. The Laplacian pdf distance exhibits a remarkabl...
