1 The techniques for image analysis and classi cation generally consider the image sample labels xed and without uncertainties. The rank regression problem is studied in this pape...
We consider the problem of ranking refinement, i.e., to improve the accuracy of an existing ranking function with a small set of labeled instances. We are, particularly, intereste...
We present a general boosting method extending functional gradient boosting to optimize complex loss functions that are encountered in many machine learning problems. Our approach...
A new approach to ensemble learning is introduced that takes ranking rather than classification as fundamental, leading to models on the symmetric group and its cosets. The approa...
In this paper, we propose a transductive learning method for content-based image retrieval: Multiple Random Walk (MRW). Its basic idea is to construct two generative models by mea...
