Identifying the appropriate kernel function/matrix for a given dataset is essential to all kernel-based learning techniques. A variety of kernel learning algorithms have been prop...
We derive a generalization bound for multiclassification schemes based on grid clustering in categorical parameter product spaces. Grid clustering partitions the parameter space i...
This paper introduces a novel machine learning model called multiple instance ranking (MIRank) that enables ranking to be performed in a multiple instance learning setting. The mo...

Compressive sensing (CS) is an emerging field that, under appropriate conditions, can significantly reduce the number of measurements required for a given signal. In many applicat...

We propose a new stopping condition for a Support Vector Machine (SVM) solver which precisely reflects the objective of the Leave-OneOut error computation. The stopping condition ...
We introduce a boosting framework to solve a classification problem with added manifold and ambient regularization costs. It allows for a natural extension of boosting into both s...

We examine the problem of evaluating a policy in the contextual bandit setting using only observations collected during the execution of another policy. We show that policy evalua...

The problem of identifying the minimal gene set required to sustain life is of crucial importance in understanding cellular mechanisms and designing therapeutic drugs. This work d...
Bayesian network classifiers have been widely used for classification problems. Given a fixed Bayesian network structure, parameters learning can take two different approaches: ge...
