Abstract. Many supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms depend on the choice of an appropriate distance metric. While metric learning for supervised learning tasks has a lon...
Support vector machines (SVMs) have played a key role in broad classes of problems arising in various fields. Much more recently, SVMs have become the tool of choice for problems...
Most information extraction (IE) systems identify facts that are explicitly stated in text. However, in natural language, some facts are implicit, and identifying them requires ...
Abstract. The explosion of data stored in commercial or administrational databases calls for intelligent techniques to discover the patterns hidden in them and thus to exploit all ...
The growing use of information visualization tools and data mining algorithms stems from two separate lines of research. Information visualization researchers believe in the impor...
