There are two main approaches to the problem of gender classification, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Adaboost learning methods, of which SVMs are better in correct rate but ar...
This paper presents a stagewise least square (SLS) loss function for classification. It uses a least square form within each stage to approximate a bounded monotonic nonconvex los...
Abstract Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. A...
In this paper, we propose a novel metric learning method based on regularized moving least squares. Unlike most previous metric learning methods which learn a global Mahalanobis d...
Metric learning algorithms can provide useful distance functions for a variety of domains, and recent work has shown good accuracy for problems where the learner can access all di...
