Traditional non-parametric statistical learning techniques are often computationally attractive, but lack the same generalization and model selection abilities as state-of-the-art...
Boosting is a popular approach for building accurate classifiers. Despite the initial popular belief, boosting algorithms do exhibit overfitting and are sensitive to label noise. ...
We consider the problem of unsupervised learning from a matrix of data vectors where in each row the observed values are randomly permuted in an unknown fashion. Such problems ari...
In recent years there has been a flurry of works on learning probabilistic belief networks. Current state of the art methods have been shown to be successful for two learning scen...
Rapid growth in the amount of data available on social networking sites has made information retrieval increasingly challenging for users. In this paper, we propose a collaborativ...
