Collaborative filtering is a useful technique for exploiting the preference patterns of a group of users to predict the utility of items for the active user. In general, the perfo...
Abstract. We describe work aimed at cost-constrained knowledge discovery in the biomedical domain. To improve the diagnostic/prognostic models of cancer, new biomarkers are studied...
Abstract. We introduce a nonparametric model for sensitivity estimation which relies on generating points similar to the prediction point using its k nearest neighbors. Unlike most...
We address the problem of perceived age estimation from face images, and propose a new semi-supervised approach involving two novel aspects. The first novelty is an efficient act...
