The `kernel approach' has attracted great attention with the development of support vector machine (SVM) and has been studied in a general way. It offers an alternative soluti...
We investigate hierarchical graphical models (HGMs) for automatically detecting decisions in multi-party discussions. Several types of dialogue act (DA) are distinguished on the b...
We present a new algorithm for learning a convex set in n-dimensional space given labeled examples drawn from any Gaussian distribution. The complexity of the algorithm is bounded ...
Mining opinions and sentiment from social networking sites is a popular application for social media systems. Common approaches use a machine learning system with a bag of words f...
To set the values of the hyperparameters of a support vector machine (SVM), the method of choice is cross-validation. Several upper bounds on the leave-one-out error of the pattern...
