In this paper, we present an AUC (i.e., the Area Under the Curve of Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC)) maximization based learning algorithm to design the classifier for ma...
A great deal of recent research has focused on the challenging task of selecting differentially expressed genes from microarray data (`gene selection'). Numerous gene selecti...
This paper studies global ranking problem by learning to rank methods. Conventional learning to rank methods are usually designed for `local ranking', in the sense that the r...

Low-rank matrix decompositions are essential tools in the application of kernel methods to large-scale learning problems. These decompositions have generally been treated as black...
Consider a 0/1 integer program min{cT x : Ax b, x {0, 1}n } where A is nonnegative. We show that if the number of minimal covers of Ax b is polynomially bounded, then there is ...
