Given observed data and a collection of parameterized candidate models, a 1- confidence region in parameter space provides useful insight as to those models which are a good fit t...

Given a sample covariance matrix, we examine the problem of maximizing the variance explained by a particular linear combination of the input variables while constraining the numb...

Regularized Kernel Discriminant Analysis (RKDA) performs linear discriminant analysis in the feature space via the kernel trick. The performance of RKDA depends on the selection o...
In this work we take a novel view of nonlinear manifold learning. Usually, manifold learning is formulated in terms of finding an embedding or `unrolling' of a manifold into ...
Many collective labeling tasks require inference on graphical models where the clique potentials depend only on the number of nodes that get a particular label. We design efficien...
