Divide-and-Conquer Learning by Anchoring a Conical Hull

Many well-known machine learning methods aim to draw a line between two classes. However, in our recently accepted NIPS 2014 paper “Divide-and-Conquer Learning by Anchoring a Conical Hull“, we reduce lots of fundamental machine learning problems (a broad class of … Continue reading

NeSVM (Nesterov’s method for SVM) code for our ICDM 2010 paper

You can now download MATLAB code for NeSVM from here.  In the code, options.mu is a key parameter to adjust the trade-off between consistent decreasing of primal object function, and the speed. So you need to roughly tune it to … Continue reading

[Best student paper award] Welcome to my “Divide-and-Conquer Anchoring (DCA)” talk at ICDM Dallas Dec 8

Is it possible to finish a 60000×10000 matrix decomposition (NMF, PCA, etc)  or completion in 6 seconds on your laptop’s matlab? Can we make it even faster by a simple distributable scheme? How to summarize a huge-scale dataset (ratings, movie, … Continue reading
