This paper addresses the topic of social advertising, which refers to the allocation of ads based on individual user social information and behaviors. As social network services (e...
We introduce quadratically gated mixture of experts (QGME), a statistical model for multi-class nonlinear classification. The QGME is formulated in the setting of incomplete data,...
We consider the problem of clustering in its most basic form where only a local metric on the data space is given. No parametric statistical model is assumed, and the number of cl...
We show that forms of Bayesian and MDL inference that are often applied to classification problems can be inconsistent. This means that there exists a learning problem such that fo...
The success of Support Vector Machine (SVM) gave rise to the development of a new class of theoretically elegant learning machines which use a central concept of kernels and the a...
