Fold recognition is a key problem in computational biology that involves classifying protein sharing structural similarities into classes commonly known as "folds". Rece...
The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. Most existing methods can only adapt the kernel parameters or the kernel matrix based on empirical data. Recently, Ong e...
Multi-task learning aims at combining information across tasks to boost prediction performance, especially when the number of training samples is small and the number of predictor...
Similarity matrices generated from many applications may not be positive semidefinite, and hence can't fit into the kernel machine framework. In this paper, we study the prob...
A multitask learning framework is developed for discriminative classification and regression where multiple large-margin linear classifiers are estimated for different predictio...
