Abstract In multi-instance learning, the training set comprises labeled bags that are composed of unlabeled instances, and the task is to predict the labels of unseen bags. This pa...
In this paper we propose the framework of Monte Carlo algorithms as a useful one to analyze ensemble learning. In particular, this framework allows one to guess when bagging will ...
We analyze the application of ensemble learning to recommender systems on the Netflix Prize dataset. For our analysis we use a set of diverse state-of-the-art collaborative filt...
The standard framework of machine learning problems assumes that the available data is independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). However, in some applications such as image...
We describe an ensemble learning approach that accurately learns from data that has been partitioned according to the arbitrary spatial requirements of a large-scale simulation whe...

We present an ensemble learning approach that achieves accurate predictions from arbitrarily partitioned data. The partitions come from the distributed processing requirements of ...

Ensemble learning is a variational Bayesian method in which an intractable distribution is approximated by a lower-bound. Ensemble learning results in models with better generaliz...
Abstract. Understanding ensemble diversity is one of the most important fundamental issues in ensemble learning. Inspired by a recent work trying to explain ensemble diversity from...
