Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. There are...
Convex programming involves a convex set F Rn and a convex cost function c : F R. The goal of convex programming is to find a point in F which minimizes c. In online convex prog...
In this paper we address a method of source separation in the case where sources have certain temporal structures. The key contribution in this paper is to incorporate Gaussian pro...
This paper introduces RankOpt, a linear binary classifier which optimises the area under the ROC curve (the AUC). Unlike standard binary classifiers, RankOpt adopts the AUC stat...
Stability is a common tool to verify the validity of sample based algorithms. In clustering it is widely used to tune the parameters of the algorithm, such as the number k of clust...
