This paper proposes a principled extension of the traditional single-layer flat sparse coding scheme, where a two-layer coding scheme is derived based on theoretical analysis of nonlinear functional approximation that extends recent results for local coordinate coding.

Nonlinear Learning using Local Coordinate Coding

no code implementations NeurIPS 2009 Kai Yu, Tong Zhang, Yihong Gong

This paper introduces a new method for semi-supervised learning on high dimensional nonlinear manifolds, which includes a phase of unsupervised basis learning and a phase of supervised function learning.

Gaussian Process Models for Link Analysis and Transfer Learning

no code implementations NeurIPS 2007 Kai Yu, Wei Chu

In this paper we develop a Gaussian process (GP) framework to model a collection of reciprocal random variables defined on the \emph{edges} of a network.
