Given a large-scale linked document collection, such as a collection of blog posts or a research literature archive, there are two fundamental problems that have generated a lot o...
—The success of transfer to improve learning on a target task is highly dependent on the selected source data. Instance-based transfer methods reuse data from the source tasks to...
In this paper, we propose a Robust Discriminant Analysis based on maximum entropy (MaxEnt) criterion (MaxEnt-RDA), which is derived from a nonparametric estimate of Renyi’s quadr...
Recent work in supervised learning of term-based retrieval models has shown significantly improved accuracy can often be achieved via better model estimation [2, 10, 11, 17]. In ...
Most face recognition algorithms use a “distancebased” approach: gallery and probe images are projected into a low dimensional feature space and decisions about matching are b...
