Gaussian processes for machine learning

by Carl Edward Rasmussen - in: Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning , 2006
"... Abstract. We give a basic introduction to Gaussian Process regression models. We focus on understanding the role of the stochastic process and how it is used to define a distribution over functions. We present the simple equations for incorporating training data and examine how to learn the hyperpar ..."

Supervised learning in the form of regression (for continuous outputs) and classification (for discrete outputs) is an important constituent

Ensemble Methods in Machine Learning

by Thomas G. Dietterich - MULTIPLE CLASSIFIER SYSTEMS, LBCS-1857 , 2000
"... Ensemble methods are learning algorithms that construct a set of classifiers and then classify new data points by taking a (weighted) vote of their predictions. The original ensemble method is Bayesian averaging, but more recent algorithms include error-correcting output coding, Bagging, and boostin ..."

Sparse Bayesian Learning and the Relevance Vector Machine

by Michael E. Tipping, Alex Smola , 2001
"... This paper introduces a general Bayesian framework for obtaining sparse solutions to regression and classication tasks utilising models linear in the parameters. Although this framework is fully general, we illustrate our approach with a particular specialisation that we denote the `relevance vec ..."

vector machine' (RVM), a model of identical functional form to the popular and state-of-the-art `support vector machine' (SVM). We demonstrate that by exploiting a probabilistic Bayesian learning framework, we can derive accurate prediction models which typically utilise dramatically fewer

Machine Learning in Automated Text Categorization

by Fabrizio Sebastiani - ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS , 2002
"... The automated categorization (or classification) of texts into predefined categories has witnessed a booming interest in the last ten years, due to the increased availability of documents in digital form and the ensuing need to organize them. In the research community the dominant approach to this p ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1658 (22 self) - Add to MetaCart
to this problem is based on machine learning techniques: a general inductive process automatically builds a classifier by learning, from a set of preclassified documents, the characteristics of the categories. The advantages of this approach over the knowledge engineering approach (consisting in the manual

Instance-based learning algorithms

by David W. Aha, Dennis Kibler, Marc K. Albert - Machine Learning , 1991
"... Abstract. Storing and using specific instances improves the performance of several supervised learning algorithms. These include algorithms that learn decision trees, classification rules, and distributed networks. However, no investigation has analyzed algorithms that use only specific instances to ..."

Inductive Learning Algorithms and Representations for Text Categorization

by Susan Dumais, John Platt, Mehran Sahami, David Heckerman , 1998
"... Text categorization – the assignment of natural language texts to one or more predefined categories based on their content – is an important component in many information organization and management tasks. We compare the effectiveness of five different automatic learning algorithms for text categori ..."

Boosting a Weak Learning Algorithm By Majority

by Yoav Freund , 1995
"... We present an algorithm for improving the accuracy of algorithms for learning binary concepts. The improvement is achieved by combining a large number of hypotheses, each of which is generated by training the given learning algorithm on a different set of examples. Our algorithm is based on ideas pr ..."

Training Support Vector Machines: an Application to Face Detection

by Edgar Osuna, Robert Freund, Federico Girosi , 1997
"... We investigate the application of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) in computer vision. SVM is a learning technique developed by V. Vapnik and his team (AT&T Bell Labs.) that can be seen as a new method for training polynomial, neural network, or Radial Basis Functions classifiers. The decision sur ..."
