Diffusion Maps (DiffMaps) has recently provided a general framework that unites many other spectral manifold learning algorithms, including Laplacian Eigenmaps, and it has become ...
The optimization method is one of key issues in discriminative learning of pattern classifiers. This paper proposes a hybrid approach of the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution...
We present a general boosting method extending functional gradient boosting to optimize complex loss functions that are encountered in many machine learning problems. Our approach...
Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRFs) are useful in a broad range of applications. In this paper we tackle the problem of learning a sparse GMRF in a high-dimensional space. Our a...
: This paper deals with a progressive learning method for symbol recognition which improves its own recognition rate when new symbols are recognized in graphic documents. We propos...
