Abstract. Probabilistic models with hidden variables such as probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA) and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) have recently become popular for so...
The problem of learning a sparse conic combination of kernel functions or kernel matrices for classification or regression can be achieved via the regularization by a block 1-norm...

Hundreds of millions of users each day submit queries to the Web search engine. The user queries are typically very short which makes query understanding a challenging problem. In...
We propose a new local learning scheme that is based on the principle of decisiveness: the learned classifier is expected to exhibit large variability in the direction of the test ...
In this paper, we present a new method for texture classification which we call the regularized simultaneous autoregressive method (RSAR). The regularization technique is introduc...
