Most existing sparse Gaussian process (g.p.) models seek computational advantages by basing their computations on a set of m basis functions that are the covariance function of th...
We study hierarchical classification in the general case when an instance could belong to more than one class node in the underlying taxonomy. Experiments done in previous work sh...
This paper presents a novel framework called proto-reinforcement learning (PRL), based on a mathematical model of a proto-value function: these are task-independent basis function...
Given a classification problem, our goal is to find a low-dimensional linear transformation of the feature vectors which retains information needed to predict the class labels. We...
Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) has been an active topic of research during the last century. However, the existing algorithms have several limitations when applied to visual d...
