Drs. Waltz and Vapnik win an NSF grant to study Learning Using Hidden Information
Dr. David Waltz and Dr. Valdimir Vapnik has been awarded a grant by the National Science Foundation to perform researc
h in the area of "An Advanced Learning Paradigm: Learning Using Hidden Information". This project will be focusing on developing algorithms in the SVM family that allow extra information to be used effectively during training, with the understanding that this extra information will not be available during actual operation.
