We propose a novel variant of the conjugate gradient algorithm, Kernel Conjugate Gradient (KCG), designed to speed up learning for kernel machines with differentiable loss functio...
The structure of a Bayesian network (BN) encodes variable independence. Learning the structure of a BN, however, is typically of high computational complexity. In this paper, we e...
Support Vector Machines (SVM) have been extensively studied and have shown remarkable success in many applications. However the success of SVM is very limited when it is applied to...
Abstract. We give a lower bound for the error of any unitarily invariant algorithm learning half-spaces against the uniform or related distributions on the unit sphere. The bound i...
We show how nonlinear embedding algorithms popular for use with shallow semisupervised learning techniques such as kernel methods can be applied to deep multilayer architectures, ...
