The problem of transfer learning, where information gained in one learning task is used to improve performance in another related task, is an important new area of research. While...
A crucial issue for Machine Learning and Data Mining is Feature Selection, selecting the relevant features in order to focus the learning search. A relaxed setting for Feature Sele...
We propose a new model for the probabilistic estimation of continuous state variables from a sequence of observations, such as tracking the position of an object in video. This ma...
Relevance feedback [1] has been a powerful tool for interactive Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). During the retrieval process, the user selects the most relevant images and p...
In crowdsourced relevance judging, each crowd worker typically judges only a small number of examples, yielding a sparse and imbalanced set of judgments in which relatively few wo...
