In many graph-based semi-supervised learning algorithms, edge weights are assumed to be fixed and determined by the data points' (often symmetric) relationships in input space...
Finding a point which minimizes the maximal distortion with respect to a dataset is an important estimation problem that has recently received growing attentions in machine learnin...
The automatic tuning of the parameters of algorithms and automatic selection of algorithms has received a lot of attention recently. One possible approach is the use of machine lea...
The web contains lots of interesting factual information about entities, such as celebrities, movies or products. This paper describes a robust bootstrapping approach to corrobora...
Given a database with missing or uncertain content, our goal is to correct and fill the database by extracting specific information from a large corpus such as the Web, and to d...
