It is difficult to apply machine learning to new domains because often we lack labeled problem instances. In this paper, we provide a solution to this problem that leverages domai...
Boosting is a popular way to derive powerful learners from simpler hypothesis classes. Following previous work (Mason et al., 1999; Friedman, 2000) on general boosting frameworks,...
The existence of large image datasets such as the set of photos on the World Wide Web make it possible to build powerful generic models for low-level image attributes like color u...
Boosting methods are known to exhibit noticeable overfitting on some datasets, while being immune to overfitting on other ones. In this paper we show that standard boosting algorit...
Active learning strategies can be useful when manual labeling
effort is scarce, as they select the most informative
examples to be annotated first. However, for visual category
