Healing the relevance vector machine through augmentation
The Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) is a sparse approximate Bayesian kernel method. It provides full predictive distributions for test cases. However, the predictive uncertainties ...

Low-distortion embeddings of general metrics into the line
A low-distortion embedding between two metric spaces is a mapping which preserves the distances between each pair of points, up to a small factor called distortion. Low-distortion...

An Efficient Upper Approximation for Conditional Preference
The fundamental operation of dominance testing, i.e., determining if one alternative is preferred to another, is in general very hard for methods of reasoning with qualitative cond...

A General Framework for Designing Approximation Schemes for Combinatorial Optimization Problems with Many Objectives Combined in
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a general framework for designing fully polynomial time approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems, in which more than one ob...
