Agnostic Learning versus Prior Knowledge in the Design of Kernel Machines
Abstract— The optimal model parameters of a kernel machine are typically given by the solution of a convex optimisation problem with a single global optimum. Obtaining the best p...

A Convex Method for Locating Regions of Interest with Multi-instance Learning
Abstract. In content-based image retrieval (CBIR) and image screening, it is often desirable to locate the regions of interest (ROI) in the images automatically. This can be accomp...

Heteroscedastic Gaussian process regression
This paper presents an algorithm to estimate simultaneously both mean and variance of a non parametric regression problem. The key point is that we are able to estimate variance l...

Dimensionality Reduction and Principal Surfaces via Kernel Map Manifolds
We present a manifold learning approach to dimensionality reduction that explicitly models the manifold as a mapping from low to high dimensional space. The manifold is represen...

Formulating distance functions via the kernel trick
Tasks of data mining and information retrieval depend on a good distance function for measuring similarity between data instances. The most effective distance function must be for...
