Abstract Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. A...
The required amount of labeled training data for object detection and classification is a major drawback of current methods. Combining labeled and unlabeled data via semisupervise...
In this paper we show that many kernel methods can be adapted to deal with indefinite kernels, that is, kernels which are not positive semidefinite. They do not satisfy Mercer...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method for learning to rank. `Ranking SVM' is a method for performing the task. It formulizes the problem as that of binary classific...
The Neural Gas (NG) is a Vector Quantization technique where a set of prototypes self organize to represent the topology structure of the data. The learning algorithm of the Neural...
