In many real world applications, the number of examples to learn from is plentiful, but we can only obtain limited information on each individual example. We study the possibiliti...
In order to better protect and conserve biodiversity, ecologists use machine learning and statistics to understand how species respond to their environment and to predict how they...
We propose CCRank, the first parallel algorithm for learning to rank, targeting simultaneous improvement in learning accuracy and efficiency. CCRank is based on cooperative coev...

Successful approaches to the robot localization problem include Monte Carlo particle filters, which estimate non-parametric localization belief distributions. However, particle ...
Transfer learning allows knowledge to be extracted from auxiliary domains and be used to enhance learning in a target domain. For transfer learning to be successful, it is critica...
In this paper, we propose a novel decentralised control mechanism to manage micro-storage in the smart grid. Our approach uses an adaptive pricing scheme that energy suppliers app...

Semi-supervised support vector machines (S3VMs) are a kind of popular approaches which try to improve learning performance by exploiting unlabeled data. Though S3VMs have been fou...
