We present an approach to semi-supervised learning based on an exponential family characterization. Our approach generalizes previous work on coupled priors for hybrid generative/...
This paper presents a new information acquisition problem motivated by business applications where customer data has to be acquired with a specific modeling objective in mind. In ...
A variety of flexible models have been proposed to detect
objects in challenging real world scenes. Motivated
by some of the most successful techniques, we propose a
hierarchica...

There are well known algorithms for learning the structure of directed and undirected graphical models from data, but nearly all assume that the data consists of a single i.i.d. s...
In kernel methods, an interesting recent development seeks to learn a good kernel from empirical data automatically. In this paper, by regarding the transductive learning of the k...
