We introduce a new formal model in which a learning algorithm must combine a collection of potentially poor but statistically independent hypothesis functions in order to approxima...
We present an approach to modeling the average case behavior of learning algorithms. Our motivation is to predict the expected accuracy of learning algorithms as a function of the...
The main idea of a priori machine learning is to apply a machine learning method on a machine learning problem itself. We call it "a priori" because the processed data se...
Consider a typical recommendation problem. A company has historical records of products sold to a large customer base. These records may be compactly represented as a sparse custom...
The aim of this work is to learn a shape prior model
for an object class and to improve shape matching with the
learned shape prior. Given images of example instances,
we can le...
