We consider the problem of how to improve the efficiency of Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL). In literature, MKL is often solved by an alternating approach: (1) the minimization of ...

In medical diagnosis doctors must often determine what medical tests (e.g., X-ray, blood tests) should be ordered for a patient to minimize the total cost of medical tests and mis...

We consider the problem of learning a ranking function, that is a mapping from instances to rankings over a finite number of labels. Our learning method, referred to as ranking by...
In previous work we developed a method of learning Bayesian Network models from raw data. This method relies on the well known minimal description length (MDL) principle. The MDL ...
We extend the VC theory of statistical learning to data dependent spaces of classifiers. This theory can be viewed as a decomposition of classifier design into two components; the...
