Given a classification problem, our goal is to find a low-dimensional linear transformation of the feature vectors which retains information needed to predict the class labels. We...
Feature selection is the task of choosing a small set out of a given set of features that capture the relevant properties of the data. In the context of supervised classification ...
Boosting is a popular approach for building accurate classifiers. Despite the initial popular belief, boosting algorithms do exhibit overfitting and are sensitive to label noise. ...
Many clustering algorithms fail when dealing with high dimensional data. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a popular dimensionality reduction algorithm. However, it assumes a ...
In this paper, we present a kernel trick embedded Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), called kernel GMM. The basic idea is to embed kernel trick into EM algorithm and deduce a parameter ...
