This paper considers kernels invariant to translation, rotation and dilation. We show that no non-trivial positive definite (p.d.) kernels exist which are radial and dilation inv...
Maximum entropy analysis of binary variables provides an elegant way for studying the role of pairwise correlations in neural populations. Unfortunately, these approaches suffer f...
Traditional analysis methods for single-trial classification of electroencephalography (EEG) focus on two types of paradigms: phase locked methods, in which the amplitude of the ...

Social tags are user-generated keywords associated with some resource on the Web. In the case of music, social tags have become an important component of “Web2.0” recommender ...

We consider apprenticeship learning—learning from expert demonstrations—in the setting of large, complex domains. Past work in apprenticeship learning requires that the expert...
Machine learning techniques are increasingly being used to produce a wide-range of classifiers for complex real-world applications that involve nonuniform testing costs and miscl...
We provide provably privacy-preserving versions of belief propagation, Gibbs sampling, and other local algorithms — distributed multiparty protocols in which each party or verte...
A semi-supervised multitask learning (MTL) framework is presented, in which M parameterized semi-supervised classifiers, each associated with one of M partially labeled data mani...
We present a novel boosting algorithm, called SoftBoost, designed for sets of binary labeled examples that are not necessarily separable by convex combinations of base hypotheses....

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) suffer from a widely recognized scalability problem in both memory use and computational time. To improve scalability, we have developed a parallel ...
