Choosing Multiple Parameters for Support Vector Machines

TLDR
The problem of automatically tuning multiple parameters for pattern recognition Support Vector Machines (SVMs) is considered by minimizing some estimates of the generalization error of SVMs using a gradient descent algorithm over the set of parameters.
Abstract
The problem of automatically tuning multiple parameters for pattern recognition Support Vector Machines (SVMs) is considered. This is done by minimizing some estimates of the generalization error of SVMs using a gradient descent algorithm over the set of parameters. Usual methods for choosing parameters, based on exhaustive search become intractable as soon as the number of parameters exceeds two. Some experimental results assess the feasibility of our approach for a large number of parameters (more than 100) and demonstrate an improvement of generalization performance.

True Few-Shot Learning with Language Models

TL;DR: The authors evaluate the few-shot ability of LMs when such held-out examples are unavailable, a setting they call true fewshot learning, and they find that selection criteria often prefer models that perform significantly worse than randomly-selected ones.

An alternative reference space for H&E color normalization.

TL;DR: This work developed an alternative representation for H&E images that operates within a space that is more amenable to many of these image processing tools, and demonstrates that this framework can be extended to achieve color normalization, effectively reducing inter-slide variability.

Molecular classification of cancer: class discovery and class prediction by gene expression monitoring.

TL;DR: A generic approach to cancer classification based on gene expression monitoring by DNA microarrays is described and applied to human acute leukemias as a test case and suggests a general strategy for discovering and predicting cancer classes for other types of cancer, independent of previous biological knowledge.
