Many learning applications are characterized by high dimensions. Usually not all of these dimensions are relevant and some are redundant. There are two main approaches to reduce d...
Given several related learning tasks, we propose a nonparametric Bayesian model that captures task relatedness by assuming that the task parameters (i.e., predictors) share a late...
The ranking problem appears in many areas of study such as customer rating, social science, economics, and information retrieval. Ranking can be formulated as a classification pro...
Gaussian graphical models are of great interest in statistical learning. Because the conditional independencies between different nodes correspond to zero entries in the inverse c...
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...
