Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for classification tasks produce sparse models by maximizing the margin. Two limitations of this technique are considered in this work: firstly, th...
We consider the problem of numerical stability and model density growth when training a sparse linear model from massive data. We focus on scalable algorithms that optimize certain...
Maximum margin clustering (MMC) is a recently proposed clustering method, which extends the theory of support vector machine to the unsupervised scenario and aims at finding the m...
Recently, relevance vector machines (RVM) have been fashioned from a sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) framework to perform supervised learning using a weight prior that encourages s...
Classical statistical learning theory studies the generalisation performance of machine learning algorithms rather indirectly. One of the main detours is that algorithms are studi...
