A Tutorial on Support Vector Machines for Pattern Recognition

McRank: Learning to Rank Using Multiple Classification and Gradient Boosting

We cast the ranking problem as (1) multiple classification (“Mc”) (2) multiple ordinal classification, which lead to computationally tractable learning algorithms for relevance ...

Input space versus feature space in kernel-based methods

This paper collects some ideas targeted at advancing our understanding of the feature spaces associated with support vector (SV) kernel functions. We first discuss the geometry ...

Simplified support vector decision rules

Pleural effusion caused by drug is an uncommon event in clinical practice. Etoricoxib induced pleural effusion is an extremely rare. We describe a patient with pleural effusion ...
