The Nature of Statistical Learning Theory

by Vladimir N. Vapnik , 1999
"... Statistical learning theory was introduced in the late 1960’s. Until the 1990’s it was a purely theoretical analysis of the problem of function estimation from a given collection of data. In the middle of the 1990’s new types of learning algorithms (called support vector machines) based on the deve ..."

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 ..."

Support-Vector Networks

by Corinna Cortes, Vladimir Vapnik - Machine Learning , 1995
"... The support-vector network is a new learning machine for two-group classification problems. The machine conceptually implements the following idea: input vectors are non-linearly mapped to a very high-dimension feature space. In this feature space a linear decision surface is constructed. Special pr ..."

Support Vector Machine Active Learning with Applications to Text Classification

by Simon Tong , Daphne Koller - JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH , 2001
"... Support vector machines have met with significant success in numerous real-world learning tasks. However, like most machine learning algorithms, they are generally applied using a randomly selected training set classified in advance. In many settings, we also have the option of using pool-based acti ..."

-based active learning. Instead of using a randomly selected training set, the learner has access to a pool of unlabeled instances and can request the labels for some number of them. We introduce a new algorithm for performing active learning with support vector machines, i.e., an algorithm for choosing which

Gaussian processes for machine learning

by Carl Edward Rasmussen , 2003
"... 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 hyperparameters us ..."

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 1734 (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

A learning algorithm for Boltzmann machines

by H. Ackley, E. Hinton, J. Sejnowski - Cognitive Science , 1985
"... The computotionol power of massively parallel networks of simple processing elements resides in the communication bandwidth provided by the hardware connections between elements. These connections con allow a significant fraction of the knowledge of the system to be applied to an instance of a probl ..."

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 ..."

Selection of relevant features and examples in machine learning

by Avrim L. Blum, Pat Langley - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , 1997
"... In this survey, we review work in machine learning on methods for handling data sets containing large amounts of irrelevant information. We focus on two key issues: the problem of selecting relevant features, and the problem of selecting relevant examples. We describe the advances that have been mad ..."

Some studies in machine learning using the game of Checkers

by Arthur L. Samuel - IBM JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT , 1959
"... Two machine-learning procedures have been investigated in some detail using the game of checkers. Enough work has been done to verify the fact that a computer can be programmed so that it will learn to play a better game of checkers than can be played by the person who wrote the program. Furthermor ..."
