We consider the problem of deriving class-size independent generalization bounds for some regularized discriminative multi-category classification methods. In particular, we obtai...
We propose the framework of mutual information kernels for learning covariance kernels, as used in Support Vector machines and Gaussian process classifiers, from unlabeled task da...
In this report, we describe our question-answering system SAIQA-e (System for Advanced Interactive Question Answering in English) which ran the main task of TREC-10's QA-trac...
We present a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian models and regularized risk functionals. It is based on the propagation of mean and variance derived from the Lapla...

We consider parameterized convex optimization problems over the unit simplex, that depend on one parameter. We provide a simple and efficient scheme for maintaining an -approximat...
