In this paper we propose a modified framework of support vector machines, called Oblique Support Vector Machines(OSVMs), to improve the capability of classification. The principl...
The Vicinal Risk Minimization principle establishes a bridge between generative models and methods derived from the Structural Risk Minimization Principle such as Support Vector M...
We present a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian models and regularized risk functionals. It is based on the propagation of mean and variance derived from the Lapla...
