We present a novel method for learning with Gaussian process regression in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. In a first step, kernel matrices on a fixed set of input points are l...
Abstract. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are well-established Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. They rely on the fact that i) linear learning can be formalized as a well-posed opti...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an algorithm for personalized learning based on a user’s query and a repository of lecture subparts —i.e., learning objects— both are descr...
Abstract. In this paper we analyze the relationships between the eigenvalues of the m × m Gram matrix K for a kernel k(·, ·) corresponding to a sample x1, . . . , xm drawn from ...

The choice of the kernel function is crucial to most applications of support vector machines. In this paper, however, we show that in the case of text classification, term-frequenc...
