Words are the essence of communication: they are the building blocks of any language. Learning the meaning of words is thus one of the most important aspects of language acquisiti...
In this paper, we propose a novel metric learning method based on regularized moving least squares. Unlike most previous metric learning methods which learn a global Mahalanobis d...
Multi-task learning (MTL) aims to improve generalization performance by learning multiple related tasks simultaneously. In this paper, we consider the problem of learning shared s...
This paper considers the problem of selecting the most informative experiments x to get measurements y for learning a regression model y = f(x). We propose a novel and simple conc...
An approach to semi-supervised learning is proposed that is based on a Gaussian random field model. Labeled and unlabeled data are represented as vertices in a weighted graph, wit...
