Clustering is widely used for exploratory data analysis in a variety of applications. Traditionally clustering is studied as an unsupervised task where no human inputs are provided. A recent trend in clustering is to leverage user provided side information to better infer the clustering structure in…
Multiple-instance learning is a framework for learning from data consisting of bags of instances labeled at the bag level. A common assumption in multi-instance learning is that a bag label is positive if and only if at least one instance in the bag is positive. In practice, this assumption may be v…
In this paper, we present an approach for learning in the semi-supervised setting in the presence of novel class instances. In this setting, data consists of a labeled portion and an unlabeled portion that contains novel class instances along with unlabeled known class instances. Novel class instanc…
A common framework of identifying bird species from audio recordings involves detecting bird song segments, which will be subsequently input to a classifier. In-field recordings are contaminated with various environmental noise. For such recordings, supervised segmentation has been observed to outpe…
