Finding the largest linearly separable set of examples for a given Boolean function is a NP-hard problem, that is relevant to neural network learning algorithms and to several prob...
The problem of learning with positive and unlabeled examples arises frequently in retrieval applications. We transform the problem into a problem of learning with noise by labelin...
Meta-Learning has been used to select algorithms based on the features of the problems being tackled. Each training example in this context, i.e. each meta-example, stores the feat...
In several information retrieval (IR) systems there is a possibility for user feedback. Many machine learning methods have been proposed that learn from the feedback information in...
We introduce an algorithm for learning a local metric to a continuous input space that measures distances in terms of relevance to the processing task. The relevance is defined a...
