We present an algorithmic framework for supervised classification learning where the set of labels is organized in a predefined hierarchical structure. This structure is encoded b...
We present a trainable sequential-inference technique for processes with large state and observation spaces and relational structure. Our method assumes "reliable observation...
Feature selection is the task of choosing a small set out of a given set of features that capture the relevant properties of the data. In the context of supervised classification ...
Boosting is a popular approach for building accurate classifiers. Despite the initial popular belief, boosting algorithms do exhibit overfitting and are sensitive to label noise. ...
We describe a class of causal, discrete latent variable models called Multiple Multiplicative Factor models (MMFs). A data vector is represented in the latent space as a vector of...
