The problem of learning a sparse conic combination of kernel functions or kernel matrices for classification or regression can be achieved via the regularization by a block 1-norm...

Programs to solve so-called constraint problems are complex pieces of software which require many design decisions to be made more or less arbitrarily by the implementer. These dec...
Abstract. We consider the problem of learning a user's ordinal preferences on a multiattribute domain, assuming that her preferences are lexicographic. We introduce a general ...
We show how features can easily be added to standard generative models for unsupervised learning, without requiring complex new training methods. In particular, each component mul...

We consider the problem of classification of multiple observations of the same object, possibly under different transformations. We view this problem as a special case of semi-sup...
