We give improved constants for data dependent and variance sensitive confidence bounds,
called empirical Bernstein bounds, and extend these inequalities to hold uniformly over …

We discuss a general method to learn data representations from multiple tasks. We provide
a justification for this method in both settings of multitask learning and learning-to-learn. The …

There is an increasing interest in the end-of-life management of polymers present in waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This is mainly due to high recycling and recovery …

The contraction inequality for Rademacher averages is extended to Lipschitz functions with
vector-valued domains, and it is also shown that in the bounding expression the …

Cathepsin D is a normal and major component of lysosomes, it is found in almost all cells
and tissues of mammals. Present review describes different events in cellular life of cathepsin …

We investigate the use of sparse coding and dictionary learning in the context of multitask
and transfer learning. The central assumption of our learning method is that the tasks …

Background Barley, globally the fourth most important cereal, provides food and beverages

The role of services as an input into manufacturing production — often termed "servicification"
of manufacturing — is substantial in both developed and developing economies. The …
