In many prediction tasks, selecting relevant features is essential for achieving good generalization performance. Most feature selection algorithms consider all features to be a p...

A cost-sensitive extension of boosting, denoted as asymmetric boosting, is presented. Unlike previous proposals, the new algorithm is derived from sound decision-theoretic princip...
Recently, instead of selecting a single kernel, multiple kernel learning (MKL) has been proposed which uses a convex combination of kernels, where the weight of each kernel is opt...
Identifying the appropriate kernel function/matrix for a given dataset is essential to all kernel-based learning techniques. A variety of kernel learning algorithms have been prop...
We present a new, statistical approach to rule learning. Doing so, we address two of the problems inherent in traditional rule learning: The computational hardness of finding rule...
