Abstract. In this paper, we present an extensive study of the cuttingplane algorithm (CPA) applied to structural kernels for advanced text classification on large datasets. In par...
We use convex relaxation techniques to provide a sequence of regularized low-rank solutions for large-scale matrix completion problems. Using the nuclear norm as a regularizer, we...
Tuning SVM hyperparameters is an important step in achieving a high-performance learning machine. It is usually done by minimizing an estimate of generalization error based on the...
In this paper we propose a Bayesian model for multi-task feature selection. This model is based on a generalized spike and slab sparse prior distribution that enforces the selectio...
In transfer learning the aim is to solve new learning tasks using fewer examples by using information gained from solving related tasks. Existing transfer learning methods have be...
