Optimising a ranking-based metric, such as Average Precision (AP), is notoriously challenging due to the fact that it is non-differentiable, and hence cannot be optimised directly using gradient-descent methods. To this end, we introduce an…
One-class classification is a challenging subfield of machine learning in which so-called data descriptors are used to predict membership of a class based solely on positive examples of that class, and no counter-examples. A number of data…
