After an initial peak, the number of synapses in mammalian cerebral cortex decreases in the formative period and throughout adult life. However, if synapses are taken to reflect ci...
We present an algorithm based on convex optimization for constructing kernels for semi-supervised learning. The kernel matrices are derived from the spectral decomposition of grap...

Exponential models of distributions are widely used in machine learning for classification and modelling. It is well known that they can be interpreted as maximum entropy models u...
In this paper we apply the method of complexity regularization to derive estimation bounds for nonlinear function estimation using a single hidden layer radial basis function netwo...
This paper shows (i) improvements over state-of-the-art local feature recognition systems, (ii) how to formulate principled models for automatic local feature selection in object c...
