  1. Stochastic Stepwise Ensembles for Variable Selection.

    Authors: Mu Zhu, Lu Xin

    Abstract

    In this article, we advocate the "ensemble approach" for variable selection.
    We point out that the stochastic mechanism used to generate the
    variable-selection ensemble (VSE) must be picked with care. We construct a VSE
    using a stochastic stepwise algorithm, and compare its performance with
    numerous state-of-the-art algorithms.

  2. Classifying Network Data with Deep Kernel Machines.

    Abstract

    Inspired by a growing interest in analyzing network data, we study the
    problem of node classification on graphs, focusing on approaches based on
    kernel machines. Conventionally, kernel machines are linear classifiers in the
    implicit feature space. We argue that linear classification in the feature
    space of kernels commonly used for graphs is often not enough to produce good
    results. When this is the case, one naturally considers nonlinear classifiers
    in the feature space.
