On Semi-Supervised Classification
A graph-based prior is proposed for parametric semi-supervised classification. The prior utilizes both labelled and unlabelled data; it also integrates features from multiple view...

Newscast EM
We propose a gossip-based distributed algorithm for Gaussian mixture learning, Newscast EM. The algorithm operates on network topologies where each node observes a local quantity ...

Optimal Aggregation of Classifiers and Boosting Maps in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
We study a method of optimal data-driven aggregation of classifiers in a convex combination and establish tight upper bounds on its excess risk with respect to a convex loss funct...

Nearly Tight Bounds for the Continuum-Armed Bandit Problem
In the multi-armed bandit problem, an online algorithm must choose from a set of strategies in a sequence of n trials so as to minimize the total cost of the chosen strategies. Wh...

Synchronization of neural networks by mutual learning and its application to cryptography
Two neural networks that are trained on their mutual output synchronize to an identical time dependant weight vector. This novel phenomenon can be used for creation of a secure cr...

Boosting on Manifolds: Adaptive Regularization of Base Classifiers
In this paper we propose to combine two powerful ideas, boosting and manifold learning. On the one hand, we improve ADABOOST by incorporating knowledge on the structure of the dat...
