A central problem in learning is selection of an appropriate model. This is typically done by estimating the unknown generalization errors of a set of models to be selected from a...
Abstract. Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) provide a powerful instrument for labeling sequences. So far, however, CRFs have only been considered for labeling sequences over flat al...
The application of boosting technique to the regression problems has received relatively little attention in contrast to the research aimed at classification problems. This paper ...
A general framework is proposed for gradient boosting in supervised learning problems where the loss function is defined using a kernel over the output space. It extends boosting ...
Multiple kernel learning (MKL) uses a weighted combination of kernels where the weight of each kernel is optimized during training. However, MKL assigns the same weight to a kerne...
