We present a framework for active learning in the multiple-instance (MI) setting. In an MI learning problem, instances are naturally organized into bags and it is the bags, instea...

We propose a Bayesian undirected graphical model for co-training, or more generally for semi-supervised multi-view learning. This makes explicit the previously unstated assumption...

We propose a compact, low power VLSI network of spiking neurons which can learn to classify complex patterns of mean firing rates on–line and in real–time. The network of int...
