This article proposes an algorithm to automatically learn useful transformations of data to improve accuracy in supervised classification tasks. These transformations take the for...
Languages that combine predicate logic with probabilities are needed to succinctly represent knowledge in many real-world domains. We consider a formalism based on universally qua...
Abstract--We investigate parameter-based and distributionbased approaches to regularizing the generative, similarity-based classifier called local similarity discriminant analysis ...
In this paper, we present new probabilistic models for identifying bird species from audio recordings. We introduce the independent syllable model and consider two ways of aggregat...
Detecting impending failure of hard disks is an important prediction task which might help computer systems to prevent loss of data and performance degradation. Currently most of t...
Abstract--Many studies have shown the limits of support/confidence framework used in Apriori-like algorithms to mine association rules. One solution to cope with this limitation is...

Sparse representation for machine learning has been exploited in past years. Several sparse representation based classification algorithms have been developed for some application...
One important problem in machine learning is how to extract knowledge from prior experience, then transfer and apply this knowledge in new learning tasks. To address this problem, ...
Recently there has been considerable interest in topic models based on the bag-of-features representation of images. The strong independence assumption inherent in the bag-of-feat...
