Semi-Supervised Support Vector Machines (S3 VMs) are an appealing method for using unlabeled data in classification: their objective function favors decision boundaries which do n...
Abstract. This work introduces a new evolutionary algorithm that adapts the operator probabilities (rates) while evolves the solution of the problem. Each individual encodes its ge...
We consider a recently proposed optimization formulation of multi-task learning based on trace norm regularized least squares. While this problem may be formulated as a semidefini...

Incorporating invariances into a learning algorithm is a common problem in machine learning. We provide a convex formulation which can deal with arbitrary loss functions and arbit...

Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...
