Listwise approach to learning to rank: theory and algorithm
This paper aims to conduct a study on the listwise approach to learning to rank. The listwise approach learns a ranking function by taking individual lists as instances and minimi...

Training restricted Boltzmann machines using approximations to the likelihood gradient
A new algorithm for training Restricted Boltzmann Machines is introduced. The algorithm, named Persistent Contrastive Divergence, is different from the standard Contrastive Diverg...

SVM optimization: inverse dependence on training set size
We discuss how the runtime of SVM optimization should decrease as the size of the training data increases. We present theoretical and empirical results demonstrating how a simple ...

A rate-distortion one-class model and its applications to clustering
In one-class classification we seek a rule to find a coherent subset of instances similar to a few positive examples in a large pool of instances. The problem can be formulated an...

Cost-sensitive multi-class classification from probability estimates
For two-class classification, it is common to classify by setting a threshold on class probability estimates, where the threshold is determined by ROC curve analysis. An analog fo...

Efficiently solving convex relaxations for MAP estimation
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori (map) estimate of a discrete random field is of fundamental importance in many areas of Computer Science. In this work, we build ...

Accurate max-margin training for structured output spaces
Tsochantaridis et al. (2005) proposed two formulations for maximum margin training of structured spaces: margin scaling and slack scaling. While margin scaling has been extensivel...

Extracting and composing robust features with denoising autoencoders
Previous work has shown that the difficulties in learning deep generative or discriminative models can be overcome by an initial unsupervised learning step that maps inputs to use...
