Feature Fusion Hierarchies for gender classification
We present a hierarchical feature fusion model for image classification that is constructed by an evolutionary learning algorithm. The model has the ability to combine local patch...

Exploration in Metric State Spaces
We present metric?? , a provably near-optimal algorithm for reinforcement learning in Markov decision processes in which there is a natural metric on the state space that allows t...

The Minimum Volume Ellipsoid Metric
We propose an unsupervised “local learning” algorithm for learning a metric in the input space. Geometrically, for a given query point, the algorithm finds the minimum volume ...

Coupling feature selection and machine learning methods for navigational query identification
It is important yet hard to identify navigational queries in Web search due to a lack of sufficient information in Web queries, which are typically very short. In this paper we st...
