Discriminative learning is challenging when examples are sets of features, and the sets vary in cardinality and lack any sort of meaningful ordering. Kernel-based classification m...
We study the problem of discovering a manifold that best preserves information relevant to a nonlinear regression. Solving this problem involves extending and uniting two threads ...
Similarity matrices generated from many applications may not be positive semidefinite, and hence can't fit into the kernel machine framework. In this paper, we study the prob...
Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves are commonly used to present results for binary decision problems in machine learning. However, when dealing with highly skewed datas...
Recently, several manifold learning algorithms have been proposed, such as ISOMAP (Tenenbaum et al., 2000), Locally Linear Embedding (Roweis & Saul, 2000), Laplacian Eigenmap ...
