A wide variety of distortion functions, such as squared Euclidean distance, Mahalanobis distance, Itakura-Saito distance and relative entropy, have been used for clustering. In th...

A variational level set method is developed for the supervised classification problem. Nonlinear classifier decision boundaries are obtained by minimizing an energy functional tha...
We derive an equivalence between AdaBoost and the dual of a convex optimization problem, showing that the only difference between minimizing the exponential loss used by AdaBoost ...
Abstract High-order derivatives of analytic functions are expressible as Cauchy integrals over circular contours, which can very effectively be approximated, e.g., by trapezoidal s...
Many data mining applications can benefit from adapting existing classifiers to new data with shifted distributions. In this paper, we present Adaptive Support Vector Machine (Ada...
