This paper considers the use of the EM-algorithm, combined with mean field theory, for parameter estimation in Markov random field models from unlabelled data. Special attention ...
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for multi-task learning with boosted decision trees. We learn several different learning tasks with a joint model, explicitly addressing...

Sparse coding of sensory data has recently attracted notable attention in research of learning useful features from the unlabeled data. Empirical studies show that mapping the data...
Reducing the number of labeled examples required to learn accurate prediction models is an important problem in structured output prediction. In this paper we propose a new transd...
Incorporating background knowledge into data mining algorithms is an important but challenging problem. Current approaches in semi-supervised learning require explicit knowledge p...
