Utility computing delivers compute and storage resources to applications as an `on-demand utility', much like electricity, from a distributed collection of computing resource...
—A fast online algorithm OnlineSVMR for training Ramp-Loss Support Vector Machines (SVMR s) is proposed. It finds the optimal SVMR for t+1 training examples using SVMR built on t...
Abstract In multi-instance learning, the training set comprises labeled bags that are composed of unlabeled instances, and the task is to predict the labels of unseen bags. This pa...
Most machine learning algorithms are lazy: they extract from the training set the minimum information needed to predict its labels. Unfortunately, this often leads to models that ...
