Aiming to clarify the convergence or divergence conditions for Learning Classifier System (LCS), this paper explores: (1) an extreme condition where the reinforcement process of ...
Large-scale logistic regression arises in many applications such as document classification and natural language processing. In this paper, we apply a trust region Newton method t...
We apply Stochastic Meta-Descent (SMD), a stochastic gradient optimization method with gain vector adaptation, to the training of Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). On several larg...

We present a new method to estimate the intrinsic dimensionality of a submanifold M in Rd from random samples. The method is based on the convergence rates of a certain U-statisti...
Boosting algorithms like AdaBoost and Arc-GV are iterative strategies to minimize a constrained objective function, equivalent to Barrier algorithms. Based on this new understandi...
