RELIEF is considered one of the most successful algorithms for assessing the quality of features. In this paper, we propose a set of new feature weighting algorithms that perform s...
Boosting is a popular approach for building accurate classifiers. Despite the initial popular belief, boosting algorithms do exhibit overfitting and are sensitive to label noise. ...
Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. There are...
The problem of learning with positive and unlabeled examples arises frequently in retrieval applications. We transform the problem into a problem of learning with noise by labelin...
We consider a two-layer network algorithm. The first layer consists of an uncountable number of linear units. Each linear unit is an LMS algorithm whose inputs are first “kerne...
