Conditional log-linear models are a commonly used method for structured prediction. Efficient learning of parameters in these models is therefore an important problem. This paper ...

Maximum Margin Matrix Factorization (MMMF) was recently suggested (Srebro et al., 2005) as a convex, infinite dimensional alternative to low-rank approximations and standard facto...
In this paper, we consider a smoothing kernelbased classification rule and propose an algorithm for optimizing the performance of the rule by learning the bandwidth of the smoothi...

Many settings of unsupervised learning can be viewed as quantization problems — the minimization of the expected quantization error subject to some restrictions. This allows the ...

When correct priors are known, Bayesian algorithms give optimal decisions, and accurate confidence values for predictions can be obtained. If the prior is incorrect however, these...
