In this work we take a novel view of nonlinear manifold learning. Usually, manifold learning is formulated in terms of finding an embedding or `unrolling' of a manifold into ...
Traditional non-parametric statistical learning techniques are often computationally attractive, but lack the same generalization and model selection abilities as state-of-the-art...
Kernel methods have gained a great deal of popularity in the machine learning community as a method to learn indirectly in highdimensional feature spaces. Those interested in rela...
Document classification presents difficult challenges due to the sparsity and the high dimensionality of text data, and to the complex semantics of the natural language. The tradi...
Existing hierarchical summarization techniques fail to provide synopses good in terms of relative-error metrics. This paper introduces multiplicative synopses: a summarization par...
