Boosting methods are known to exhibit noticeable overfitting on some datasets, while being immune to overfitting on other ones. In this paper we show that standard boosting algorit...
In this paper we present a novel strategy, DragPushing, for improving the performance of text classifiers. The strategy is generic and takes advantage of training errors to succes...

World Wide Web search engines typically return thousands of results to the users. To avoid users browsing through the whole list of results, search engines use ranking algorithms ...
Recent scaling up of POMDP solvers towards realistic applications is largely due to point-based methods such as PBVI, Perseus, and HSVI, which quickly converge to an approximate so...
Semi-supervised clustering uses the limited background knowledge to aid unsupervised clustering algorithms. Recently, a kernel method for semi-supervised clustering has been introd...
