Abstract. In our previous work we have shown that Mahalanobis kernels are useful for support vector classifiers both from generalization ability and model selection speed. In this ...
The field of Record Linkage is concerned with identifying records from one or more datasets which refer to the same underlying entities. Where entity-unique identifiers are not av...
This paper presents a general model to study the medium access control (MAC) layer performance and equilibrium of WLANs consisting of nodes with different MAC parameters (e.g., ba...
Exploiting unannotated natural language data is hard largely because unsupervised parameter estimation is hard. We describe deterministic annealing (Rose et al., 1990) as an appea...
Support vector machines (SVMs) are regularly used for classification of unbalanced data by weighting more heavily the error contribution from the rare class. This heuristic techn...
