A DC-programming algorithm for kernel selection
We address the problem of learning a kernel for a given supervised learning task. Our approach consists in searching within the convex hull of a prescribed set of basic kernels fo...

Robust probabilistic projections
Principal components and canonical correlations are at the root of many exploratory data mining techniques and provide standard pre-processing tools in machine learning. Lately, p...

Graph model selection using maximum likelihood
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of theoretical graph models, e.g., preferential attachment and small-world models, motivated by real-world graphs such as the Inter...

Algorithms for portfolio management based on the Newton method
We experimentally study on-line investment algorithms first proposed by Agarwal and Hazan and extended by Hazan et al. which achieve almost the same wealth as the best constant-re...

Higher order learning with graphs
Recently there has been considerable interest in learning with higher order relations (i.e., three-way or higher) in the unsupervised and semi-supervised settings. Hypergraphs and...

Ranking on graph data
In ranking, one is given examples of order relationships among objects, and the goal is to learn from these examples a real-valued ranking function that induces a ranking or order...

Agnostic active learning
We state and analyze the first active learning algorithm which works in the presence of arbitrary forms of noise. The algorithm, A2 (for Agnostic Active), relies only upon the ass...

Using inaccurate models in reinforcement learning
In the model-based policy search approach to reinforcement learning (RL), policies are found using a model (or "simulator") of the Markov decision process. However, for ...

On a theory of learning with similarity functions
Kernel functions have become an extremely popular tool in machine learning, with an attractive theory as well. This theory views a kernel as implicitly mapping data points into a ...
