As a learning method support vector machine is regarded as one of the best classifiers with a strong mathematical foundation. On the other hand, evolutionary computational techniq...
A new method for classification is proposed. This is based on kernel orthonormalized partial least squares (PLS) dimensionality reduction of the original data space followed by a ...
Incorporation of prior knowledge into the learning process can significantly improve low-sample classification accuracy. We show how to introduce prior knowledge into linear supp...
A general model is proposed for studying ranking problems. We investigate learning methods based on empirical minimization of the natural estimates of the ranking risk. The empiric...
This paper1 explores the use of a Maximal Average Margin (MAM) optimality principle for the design of learning algorithms. It is shown that the application of this risk minimizati...
