Energy-based learning (EBL) is a general framework to describe supervised and unsupervised training methods for probabilistic and non-probabilistic factor graphs. An energy-based ...
We present a general boosting method extending functional gradient boosting to optimize complex loss functions that are encountered in many machine learning problems. Our approach...
We describe a novel max-margin parameter learning approach for structured prediction problems under certain non-decomposable performance measures. Structured prediction is a commo...
When applying aggregating strategies to Prediction with Expert Advice, the learning rate must be adaptively tuned. The natural choice of complexity/current loss renders the analys...
In this paper we address the problem of pool based active learning, and provide an algorithm, called UPAL, that works by minimizing the unbiased estimator of the risk of a hypothe...
