When given a small sample, we show that classification with SVM can be considerably enhanced by using a kernel function learned from the training data prior to discrimination. Thi...
We present a novel approach to statistical shape analysis of anatomical structures based on small sample size learning techniques. The high complexity of shape models used in medic...

We propose a kernelized maximal-figure-of-merit (MFoM) learning approach to efficiently training a nonlinear model using subspace distance minimization. In particular, a fixed,...
Discriminative training for structured outputs has found increasing applications in areas such as natural language processing, bioinformatics, information retrieval, and computer ...
Confidence measures for the generalization error are crucial when small training samples are used to construct classifiers. A common approach is to estimate the generalization err...
