We investigate how stack filter function classes like weighted order statistics can be applied to classification problems. This leads to a new design criteria for linear classifie...

We study the common problem of approximating a target matrix with a matrix of lower rank. We provide a simple and efficient (EM) algorithm for solving weighted low-rank approximat...
Abstract. We propose simple randomized strategies for sequential prediction under imperfect monitoring, that is, when the forecaster does not have access to the past outcomes but r...
Optimization problems with a nuclear norm regularization, such as e.g. low norm matrix factorizations, have seen many applications recently. We propose a new approximation algorit...
We show that the mistake bound for predicting the nodes of an arbitrary weighted graph is characterized (up to logarithmic factors) by the cutsize of a random spanning tree of the...
