We propose a local, generative model for similarity-based classification. The method is applicable to the case that only pairwise similarities between samples are available. The c...
Matching Pursuit algorithms learn a function that is a weighted sum of basis functions, by sequentially appending functions to an initially empty basis, to approximate a target fu...
We present a distributed machine learning framework based on support vector machines that allows classification problems to be solved iteratively through parallel update algorithm...
Semi-Supervised Support Vector Machines (S3 VMs) are an appealing method for using unlabeled data in classification: their objective function favors decision boundaries which do n...
Classifiers favoring sparse solutions, such as support vector machines, relevance vector machines, LASSO-regression based classifiers, etc., provide competitive methods for classi...
