The bias-variance decomposition is a very useful and widely-used tool for understanding machine-learning algorithms. It was originally developed for squared loss. In recent years,...
In this paper, we investigate the problem of binary classification with a reject option in which one can withhold the decision of classifying an observation at a cost lower than t...
Multi-instance learning, as other machine learning tasks, also suffers from the curse of dimensionality. Although dimensionality reduction methods have been investigated for many ...

This paper shows how to construct a Markovian arrival process of second order from information on the marginal distribution and on its autocorrelation function. More precisely, clo...
The standard SVM formulation for binary classification is based on the Hinge loss function, where errors are considered not correlated. Due to this, local information in the featu...
