We study the problem of clustering discrete probability distributions with respect to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. This problem arises naturally in many applications. Our...
In this paper, we investigate stability-based methods for cluster model selection, in particular to select the number K of clusters. The scenario under consideration is that clust...
Boosting algorithms build highly accurate prediction mechanisms from a collection of lowaccuracy predictors. To do so, they employ the notion of weak-learnability. The starting po...
Clustering Stability methods are a family of widely used model selection techniques applied in data clustering. Their unifying theme is that an appropriate model should result in ...
A kernel over the Boolean domain is said to be reflection-invariant, if its value does not change when we flip the same bit in both arguments. (Many popular kernels have this prop...
