In this paper we introduce Ant-Q, a family of algorithms which present many similarities with Q-learning (Watkins, 1989), and which we apply to the solution of symmetric and asymm...
The standard so-called experts algorithms are methods for utilizing a given set of “experts” to make good choices in a sequential decision-making problem. In the standard setti...
We consider spectral clustering and transductive inference for data with multiple views. A typical example is the web, which can be described by either the hyperlinks between web ...
Without textual descriptions or label information of images, searching semantic concepts in image databases is still a very challenging task. While automatic annotation techniques...
We investigate further improvement of boosting in the case that the target concept belongs to the class of r-of-k threshold Boolean functions, which answer “+1” if at least r o...
