In this paper we consider a novel Bayesian interpretation of Fisher's discriminant analysis. We relate Rayleigh's coefficient to a noise model that minimises a cost base...
The advantage of a kernel method often depends critically on a proper choice of the kernel function. A promising approach is to learn the kernel from data automatically. In this p...
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a popular tool for multiclass discriminative dimensionality reduction. However, LDA suffers from two major problems: (1) It only optimizes th...

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...

In this paper, a discrimination and robusmess oriented adaptive learning procedure is proposed to deal with the task of syntactic ambiguity resolution. Owing to the problem of ins...
