The success of popular algorithms such as k-means clustering or nearest neighbor searches depend on the assumption that the underlying distance functions reflect domain-specific n...
The Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) is a sparse approximate Bayesian kernel method. It provides full predictive distributions for test cases. However, the predictive uncertainties ...
Higher-order typed languages, such as ML, provide strong support for data and type abn. While such abstraction is often viewed as costing performance, there are situations where i...
There has been significant recent interest in sparse metric learning (SML) in which we simultaneously learn both a good distance metric and a low-dimensional representation. Unfor...
We present a generalization of the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), where a multilayer generative network with nonnegative weights is used to approximate the observed nonne...
