A new algorithm for training Restricted Boltzmann Machines is introduced. The algorithm, named Persistent Contrastive Divergence, is different from the standard Contrastive Diverg...
In supervised kernel methods, it has been observed that the performance of the SVM classifier is poor in cases where the diagonal entries of the Gram matrix are large relative to ...
Properties of ensemble classification can be studied using the framework of Monte Carlo stochastic algorithms. Within this framework it is also possible to define a new ensemble c...
Abstract. We present a machine learning approach for classifying sentences as one-liner jokes or normal sentences. We use no deep analysis of the meaning to try to see if it is hum...
There has been much interest in the recent past concerning the possibilities for automated categorization of named entities. The research presented here describes a method for the...
