Rearrangement Clustering: Pitfalls, Remedies, and Applications
Given a matrix of values in which the rows correspond to objects and the columns correspond to features of the objects, rearrangement clustering is the problem of rearranging the ...

Learning Coordinate Covariances via Gradients
We introduce an algorithm that learns gradients from samples in the supervised learning framework. An error analysis is given for the convergence of the gradient estimated by the ...

Manifold Regularization: A Geometric Framework for Learning from Labeled and Unlabeled Examples
We propose a family of learning algorithms based on a new form of regularization that allows us to exploit the geometry of the marginal distribution. We focus on a semi-supervised...

Bounds for Linear Multi-Task Learning
Abstract. We give dimension-free and data-dependent bounds for linear multi-task learning where a common linear operator is chosen to preprocess data for a vector of task speci...c...
