We combine the replica approach from statistical physics with a variational approach to analyze learning curves analytically. We apply the method to Gaussian process regression. A...
One important problem in machine learning is how to extract knowledge from prior experience, then transfer and apply this knowledge in new learning tasks. To address this problem, ...
Understanding the structure of multidimensional patterns, especially in unsupervised case, is of fundamental importance in data mining, pattern recognition and machine learning. Se...
The dependence of the classification error on the size of a bagging ensemble can be modeled within the framework of Monte Carlo theory for ensemble learning. These error curves ar...
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is an excellent tool for unsupervised parts-based learning, but proves to be ineffective when parts of a whole follow a specific pattern. ...
