In this paper, we propose a number of adaptive prototype learning (APL) algorithms. They employ the same algorithmic scheme to determine the number and location of prototypes, but...
The performance of many supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms is very sensitive to the choice of an appropriate distance metric. Previous work in metric learning and ada...
Traditional boosting algorithms for the ranking problems usually employ the pairwise approach and convert the document rating preference into a binary-value label, like RankBoost....
