Many machine learning technologies such as support vector machines, boosting, and neural networks have been applied to the ranking problem in information retrieval. However, since...

We consider the problem of decision-making with side information and unbounded loss functions. Inspired by probably approximately correct learning model, we use a slightly differe...
We introduce a new online convex optimization algorithm that adaptively chooses its regularization function based on the loss functions observed so far. This is in contrast to pre...
We present Minimum Bayes-Risk (MBR) decoding for statistical machine translation. This statistical approach aims to minimize expected loss of translation errors under loss functio...
We consider the problem of binary classification where the classifier may abstain instead of classifying each observation. The Bayes decision rule for this setup, known as Chow...

Abstract. In this paper we develop an algorithm for structured prediction that optimizes against complex performance measures, those which are a function of false positive and fals...
One of the nice properties of kernel classifiers such as SVMs is that they often produce sparse solutions. However, the decision functions of these classifiers cannot always be u...
A game-theoretic approach for learning optimal parameter values for probabilistic rough set regions is presented. The parameters can be used to define approximation regions in a p...
Abstract. Support Vector Machines Regression (SVMR) is a learning technique where the goodness of fit is measured not by the usual quadratic loss function (the mean square error),...
In real-world machine learning problems, it is very common that part of the input feature vector is incomplete: either not available, missing, or corrupted. In this paper, we pres...
