In this paper we revisit the kernel density estimation problem: given a kernel K(x, y) and a dataset of n points in high dimensional Euclidean space, prepare a data structure that can quickly output, given a query q, a (1 + epsilon)-approximation to mu := ...
In presence of sparse noise we propose kernel regression for predicting output vectors which are smooth over a given graph. Sparse noise models the training outputs being corrupted either with missing samples or large perturbations. The presence of sparse ...
We study user interaction with touchscreens based on swipe gestures for personal authentication. This approach has been analyzed only recently in the last few years in a series of disconnected and limited works. We summarize those recent efforts and then c ...
Maximum-Entropy Distributions offer an attractive family of probability densities suitable for moment closure problems. Yet finding the Lagrange multipliers which parametrize these distributions, turns out to be a computational bottleneck for practical clo ...
Modern data-center network operating systems rely on proprietary user-space daemons wrapping SDKs from switch vendors. Linux-based variants of these operating systems have benefited from increasing and simplified dataplane offloading support in recent year ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of sequentially optimizing a black-box function f based on noisy samples and bandit feedback. We assume that f is smooth in the sense of having a bounded norm in some reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), yield ...
The increasing amount of data collected in online learning environments provides unique opportunities to better understand the learning processes in different educational settings. Learning analytics research aims at understanding and optimizing learning a ...
Models that are robust to aberrant choice behaviour have received limited attention in discrete choice analysis. In this paper, we analyse two robust alternatives to the multinomial probit (MNP) model. Both alternative models belong to the family of robit ...
Random binning features, introduced in the seminal paper of Rahimi and Recht '07, are an efficient method for approximating a kernel matrix using locality sensitive hashing. Random binning features provide a very simple and efficient way to approximate the ...
This study presents a method for computing likelihood ratios (LRs) from multimodal score distributions, as the ones produced by some commercial off-the-shelf automated fingerprint identification systems (AFISs). The AFIS algorithms used to compare fingerma ...
