Standard inductive learning requires that training and test instances come from the same distribution. Transfer learning seeks to remove this restriction. In shallow transfer, tes...
Recent work has introduced Boolean kernels with which one can learn linear threshold functions over a feature space containing all conjunctions of length up to k (for any 1 ≤ k ...
We consider the AdaBoost procedure for boosting weak learners. In AdaBoost, a key step is choosing a new distribution on the training examples based on the old distribution and th...
Perceptron training is widely applied in the natural language processing community for learning complex structured models. Like all structured prediction learning frameworks, the ...
We consider the problem of clustering in its most basic form where only a local metric on the data space is given. No parametric statistical model is assumed, and the number of cl...
