We study nonparametric regression between Riemannian manifolds based on regularized empirical risk minimization. Regularization functionals for mappings between manifolds should re...
Concentration inequalities that incorporate variance information (such as Bernstein's or Bennett's inequality) are often significantly tighter than counterparts (such as...
Abstract--Recently Kutin and Niyogi investigated several notions of algorithmic stability--a property of a learning map conceptually similar to continuity--showing that training-st...
We propose a quantization design technique (estimator) suitable for new compressed sensing sampling systems whose ultimate goal is classification or detection. The design is base...
Empirical risk minimization offers well-known learning guarantees when training and test data come from the same domain. In the real world, though, we often wish to adapt a classi...

ROC curves are one of the most widely used displays to evaluate performance of scoring functions. In the paper, we propose a statistical method for directly optimizing the ROC cur...
We consider the problem of decentralized detection under constraints on the number of bits that can be transmitted by each sensor. In contrast to most previous work, in which the ...

We propose a new penalty function which, when used as regularization for empirical risk minimization procedures, leads to sparse estimators. The support of the sparse vector is ty...
