Graph based semi-supervised learning (SSL) methods play an increasingly important role in practical machine learning systems. A crucial step in graph based SSL methods is the conv...
Social media such as blogs, Facebook, Flickr, etc., presents data in a network format rather than classical IID distribution. To address the interdependency among data instances, ...
A human annotator can provide hints to a machine learner by highlighting contextual "rationales" for each of his or her annotations (Zaidan et al., 2007). How can one ex...
Many popular optimization algorithms, like the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA), use heuristic-based "controllers" that modulate the behavior of the optimizer during ...
Abstract— This paper considers the problem of learning to recognize different terrains from color imagery in a fully automatic fashion, using the robot’s mechanical sensors as ...
