It is well known that the performance of a kernel method is highly dependent on the choice of
kernel parameter. However, existing kernel path algorithms are limited to plain support …

Self-paced learning (SPL) is an emerging research topic in recent machine learning
research which is often formulated as a bi-convex problem. The choice of the age parameter …

Abstract Model selection with cross validation (CV) is very popular in machine learning.
However, CV with grid and other common search strategies cannot guarantee to find the …

Tuning the values of kernel parameters plays a vital role in the performance of kernel
methods. Kernel path algorithms have been proposed for several important learning …
