Abstract. Most classification methods assume that the samples are drawn independently and identically from an unknown data generating distribution, yet this assumption is violated ...
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic kernel approach to preference learning based on Gaussian processes. A new likelihood function is proposed to capture the preference relat...
A new method for classification is proposed. This is based on kernel orthonormalized partial least squares (PLS) dimensionality reduction of the original data space followed by a ...
Abstract--Support vector machines (SVMs) were initially proposed to solve problems with two classes. Despite the myriad of schemes for multiclassification with SVMs proposed since ...

In this paper we embed evolutionary computation into statistical learning theory. First, we outline the connection between large margin optimization and statistical learning and s...
