We study the problem of active learning with convex loss functions. We prove that even under bounded noise constraints, the minimax rates for proper active learning are often no b...
—A fast online algorithm OnlineSVMR for training Ramp-Loss Support Vector Machines (SVMR s) is proposed. It finds the optimal SVMR for t+1 training examples using SVMR built on t...
Example-based learning of codes that statistically encode general image classes is of vital importance for computational vision. Recently, non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) ...
The consistency of classification algorithm plays a central role in statistical learning theory. A consistent algorithm guarantees us that taking more samples essentially suffices...
Learning to rank is becoming an increasingly popular research area in machine learning. The ranking problem aims to induce an ordering or preference relations among a set of insta...
