We examine the problem of approximating, in the Frobenius-norm sense, a positive, semidefinite symmetric matrix by a rank-one matrix, with an upper bound on the cardinality of its...

Eigenvalue problems are rampant in machine learning and statistics and appear in the context of classification, dimensionality reduction, etc. In this paper, we consider a cardina...

Although support vector machines (SVMs) for binary classification give rise to a decision rule that only relies on a subset of the training data points (support vectors), it will ...

In this paper, we solve the problem of detecting the entries of a sparse finite-alphabet signal from a limited amount of data, for instance obtained by compressive sampling. While...
The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. Most existing methods can only adapt the kernel parameters or the kernel matrix based on empirical data. Recently, Ong e...
