  text: We show that the usual score function for conditional Markov networks can
    be written as the expectation over the scores of their spanning trees. We also
    show that a small random sample of these output trees can attain a significant
    fraction of the margin obtained by the complete graph and we provide conditions
    under which we can perform tractable inference. The experimental results confirm
    that practical learning is scalable to realistic datasets using this approach.

  text: 'In the past few years, a lot of attention has been devoted to multimedia
    indexing by fusing multimodal informations. Two kinds of fusion schemes are generally
    considered: The early fusion and the late fusion. We focus on late classifier
    fusion, where one combines the scores of each modality at the decision level.
    To tackle this problem, we investigate a recent and elegant well-founded quadratic
    program named MinCq coming from the machine learning PAC-Bayesian theory. MinCq
    looks for the weighted combination, over a set of real-valued functions seen as
    voters, leading to the lowest misclassification rate, while maximizing the voters’
    diversity. We propose an extension of MinCq tailored to multimedia indexing. Our
    method is based on an order-preserving pairwise loss adapted to ranking that allows
    us to improve Mean Averaged Precision measure while taking into account the diversity
    of the voters that we want to fuse. We provide evidence that this method is naturally
    adapted to late fusion procedures and confirm the good behavior of our approach
    on the challenging PASCAL VOC’07 benchmark.'

  text: 'In machine learning, the domain adaptation problem arrives when the test
    (tar-get) and the train (source) data are generated from different distributions.  A
    key applied issue is thus the design of algorithms able to generalize on a new
    distribution,  for which we have no label information.  We focus on learning classification
    models defined as a weighted majority vote over a set of real-valued functions.
    In this context, Germain et al. (2013) have shown that a measure of disagreement
    between these functions is crucial to control. The core of this measure is a theoretical
    bound—the C-bound (Lacasse et al., 2007)—which involves the disagreement and leads
    to a well performing majority vote learn-ing algorithm in usual non-adaptative
    supervised setting: MinCq. In this work,we propose a framework to extend MinCq
    to a domain adaptation scenario.This procedure takes advantage of the recent perturbed
    variation divergence between distributions proposed by Harel and Mannor (2012).  Justified
    by a theoretical bound on the target risk of the vote,  we provide to MinCq a
    tar-get sample labeled thanks to a perturbed variation-based self-labeling focused
    on the regions where the source and target marginals appear similar.  We also
    study the influence of our self-labeling, from which we deduce an original process
    for tuning the hyperparameters. Finally, our framework called PV-MinCq shows very
    promising results on a rotation and translation synthetic problem.'

  text: Weighted majority votes allow one to combine the output of several classifiers
    or voters. MinCq is a recent algorithm for optimizing the weight of each voter
    based on the minimization of a theoretical bound over the risk of the vote with
    elegant PAC-Bayesian generalization guarantees. However, while it has demonstrated
    good performance when combining weak classifiers, MinCq cannot make use of the
    useful a priori knowledge that one may have when using a mixture of weak and strong
    voters. In this paper, we propose P-MinCq, an extension of MinCq that can incorporate
    such knowledge in the form of a  constraint over the distribution of the weights,
    along with general proofs of convergence that stand in the sample compression
    setting for data-dependent voters. The approach is applied to a vote of k-NN classifiers
    with a specific modeling of the voters' performance. P-MinCq significantly outperforms
    the classic k-NN classifier, a symmetric NN and MinCq using the same voters. We
    show that it is also competitive with LMNN, a popular metric learning algorithm,
    and that combining both approaches further reduces the error.

  text: En apprentissage automatique, nous parlons d'adaptation de domaine lorsque
    les données de test (cibles) et d'apprentissage (sources) sont générées selon
    différentes distributions. Nous devons donc développer des algorithmes de classification
    capables de s'adapter à une nouvelle distribution, pour laquelle aucune information
    sur les étiquettes n'est disponible. Nous attaquons cette problématique sous l'angle
    de l'approche PAC-Bayésienne qui se focalise sur l'apprentissage de modèles définis
    comme des votes de majorité sur un ensemble de fonctions. Dans ce contexte, nous
    introduisons PV-MinCq une version adaptative de l'algorithme (non adaptatif) MinCq.
    PV-MinCq suit le principe suivant. Nous transférons les étiquettes sources aux
    points cibles proches pour ensuite appliquer MinCq sur l'échantillon cible ``auto-étiqueté''
    (justifié par une borne théorique). Plus précisément, nous définissons un auto-étiquetage
    non itératif qui se focalise dans les régions où les distributions marginales
    source et cible sont les plus similaires. Dans un second temps, nous étudions
    l'influence de notre auto-étiquetage pour en déduire une procédure de validation
    des hyperparamètres. Finalement, notre approche montre des résultats empiriques
    prometteurs.
