The promise of unsupervised learning methods lies in their potential to use vast amounts of unlabeled data to learn complex, highly nonlinear models with millions of free paramete...
This paper presents a theoretical framework for ranking, and demonstrates how to perform generalization analysis of listwise ranking algorithms using the framework. Many learning-...
In a recent paper, Friedman, Geiger, and Goldszmidt [8] introduced a classifier based on Bayesian networks, called Tree Augmented Naive Bayes (TAN), that outperforms naive Bayes a...
A technique called user views has recently been proposed to focus user attention on relevant information in response to provenance queries over workflow executions [1, 2]: Given u...
