چکیده

The informative vector machine (IVM) is a practical method for Gaussian process regression and classification. The IVM produces a sparse approximation to a Gaussian process by combining assumed density filtering with a heuristic for choosing points based on minimizing posterior entropy. This paper extends IVM in several ways. First, we propose a novel noise model that allows the IVM to be applied to a mixture of labeled and unlabeled data. Second, we use IVM on a blockdiagonal covariance matrix, for “learning to learn” from related tasks. Third, we modify the IVM to incorporate prior knowledge from known invariances. All of these extensions are tested on artificial and real data.

A New Formulation for Cost-Sensitive Two Group Support Vector Machine with Multiple Error Rate

Support vector machine (SVM) is a popular classification technique which classifies data using a max-margin separator hyperplane. The normal vector and bias of the mentioned hyperplane is determined by solving a quadratic model implies that SVM training confronts by an optimization problem. Among of the extensions of SVM, cost-sensitive scheme refers to a model with multiple costs which conside...

Feature Selection Using Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm with Support Vector Machine

Different approaches have been proposed for feature selection to obtain suitable features subset among all features. These methods search feature space for feature subsets which satisfies some criteria or optimizes several objective functions. The objective functions are divided into two main groups: filter and wrapper methods.  In filter methods, features subsets are selected due to some measu...

Identification of Alzheimer disease-relevant genes using a novel hybrid method

Identifying genes underlying complex diseases/traits that generally involve multiple etiological mechanisms and contributing genes is difficult. Although microarray technology has enabled researchers to investigate gene expression changes, but identifying pathobiologically relevant genes remains a challenge. To address this challenge, we apply a new method for selecting the disease-relevant gen...
