Multitask learning algorithms are typically designed assuming some fixed, a priori known latent structure shared by all the tasks. However, it is usually unclear what type of latent task structure is the most appropriate for a given…

A new method is proposed to perform joint analysis of longitudinal and cross-sectional growth data. Clustering is first performed to group similar subjects in cross-sectional data to form a pseudo longitudinal data set, then the pseudo…

In this work we propose a Bayesian framework for data fusion of multivariate signals which arises in imaging systems. More specifically, we consider the case where we have observed two images of the same object through two different imaging…

In the analysis of binary longitudinal data, it is of interest to model a dynamic relationship between a response and covariates as a function of time, while also investigating similar patterns of time-dependent interactions. We present a…

We propose new ensemble models for multivariate functional data classification as combinations of semi-metric-based weak learners. Our models extend current semi-metric-type methods from the univariate to the multivariate case, propose new…

This paper considers joint analysis of multiple functionally related structures in classification tasks. In particular, our method developed is driven by how functionally correlated brain structures vary together between autism and control…
