Abstract. Machine learning ranking methods are increasingly applied to ranking tasks in information retrieval (IR). However ranking tasks in IR often differ from standard ranking t...
We present a general Bayesian framework for hyperparameter tuning in L2-regularized supervised learning models. Paradoxically, our algorithm works by first analytically integratin...
We show that a classifier based on Gaussian mixture models (GMM) can be trained discriminatively to improve accuracy. We describe a training procedure based on the extended Baum-W...
We present data-dependent error bounds for transductive learning based on transductive Rademacher complexity. For specific algorithms we provide bounds on their Rademacher complex...
Prediction from expert advice is a fundamental problem in machine learning. A major pillar of the field is the existence of learning algorithms whose average loss approaches that ...
