Sparse additive models are families of d-variate functions with the additive decomposition f∗ = ∑j∈S f∗ j , where S is an unknown subset of cardinality s d. In this paper,...
The Active Appearance Model (AAM) provides an efficient method for localizing objects that vary in both shape and texture, and uses a linear regressor to predict updates to model ...

A new method for function estimation and variable selection, specifically designed for additive models fitted by cubic splines is proposed.This new method involves regularizing ...

Generalized additive models (GAM) for modelling nonlinear effects of continuous covariates are now well established tools for the applied statistician. In this paper we develop Ba...
This paper tackles the problem of model complexity in the context of additive models. Several methods have been proposed to estimate smoothing parameters, as well as to perform var...

Many automated learning procedures lack interpretability, operating effectively as a black box: providing a prediction tool but no explanation of the underlying dynamics that driv...
