Efficient Kernel Discriminant Analysis via QR Decomposition
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a well-known method for feature extraction and dimension reduction. It has been used widely in many applications such as face recognition. Re...

Multi-agent Cooperation in Diverse Population Games
We consider multi-agent systems whose agents compete for resources by striving to be in the minority group. The agents adapt to the environment by reinforcement learning of the pr...

Generative Affine Localisation and Tracking
We present an extension to the Jojic and Frey (2001) layered sprite model which allows for layers to undergo affine transformations. This extension allows for affine object pose t...

The Variational Ising Classifier (VIC) Algorithm for Coherently Contaminated Data
There has been substantial progress in the past decade in the development of object classifiers for images, for example of faces, humans and vehicles. Here we address the problem ...

Identifying Protein-Protein Interaction Sites on a Genome-Wide Scale
Protein interactions typically arise from a physical interaction of one or more small sites on the surface of the two proteins. Identifying these sites is very important for drug ...

Instance-Specific Bayesian Model Averaging for Classification
Classification algorithms typically induce population-wide models that are trained to perform well on average on expected future instances. We introduce a Bayesian framework for l...

Binet-Cauchy Kernels
We propose a family of kernels based on the Binet-Cauchy theorem and its extension to Fredholm operators. This includes as special cases all currently known kernels derived from t...
