Some Theory for Generalized Boosting Algorithms
We give a review of various aspects of boosting, clarifying the issues through a few simple results, and relate our work and that of others to the minimax paradigm of statistics. ...

Linear Programming Relaxations and Belief Propagation - An Empirical Study
The problem of finding the most probable (MAP) configuration in graphical models comes up in a wide range of applications. In a general graphical model this problem is NP hard, bu...

Learning Factor Graphs in Polynomial Time and Sample Complexity
We study the computational and sample complexity of parameter and structure learning in graphical models. Our main result shows that the class of factor graphs with bounded degree...

Fast SDP Relaxations of Graph Cut Clustering, Transduction, and Other Combinatorial Problem
The rise of convex programming has changed the face of many research fields in recent years, machine learning being one of the ones that benefitted the most. A very recent develop...

Linear State-Space Models for Blind Source Separation
We apply a type of generative modelling to the problem of blind source separation in which prior knowledge about the latent source signals, such as time-varying auto-correlation a...

A Direct Method for Building Sparse Kernel Learning Algorithms
Many kernel learning algorithms, including support vector machines, result in a kernel machine, such as a kernel classifier, whose key component is a weight vector in a feature sp...

On the Complexity of Learning Lexicographic Strategies
Fast and frugal heuristics are well studied models of bounded rationality. Psychological research has proposed the take-the-best heuristic as a successful strategy in decision mak...

Distance Patterns in Structural Similarity
Similarity of edge labeled graphs is considered in the sense of minimum squared distance between corresponding values. Vertex correspondences are established by isomorphisms if bo...

Learning Sparse Representations by Non-Negative Matrix Factorization and Sequential Cone Programming
We exploit the biconvex nature of the Euclidean non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) optimization problem to derive optimization schemes based on sequential quadratic and secon...
