This problem, sometimes referred to as one-class or set covering, requires to find a small-radius ball that covers as many data points as possible. It rises naturally in a wide range of applications, from finding gene-modules to extracting documents' topics, where many data points are irrelevant to the task at hand, or in applications where only positive examples are available. Most previous approaches to this problem focus on identifying and discarding a possible set of outliers. In this paper we adopt an opposite approach which directly aims to find a small set of coherently structured regions, by using a loss function that focuses on local properties of the data. We formalize the learning task as an optimization problem using the Information-Bottleneck principle. An algorithm to solve this optimization problem is then derived and analyzed. Experiments on gene expression data and a text document corpus demonstrate the merits of our approach.}, } @article{Chechik99, title = {Effective Learning Requires Neuronal Remodeling of Hebbian Synapses}, author = {Gal Chechik and Isaac Meilijson and Eytan Ruppin}, year = {1999}, } @Article{Chechik-2000-neurocomputing, author = {Gal Chechik and Isaac Meilijson and Eyten Ruppin }, title = {Neuronal normalization provides effective learning through ineffective synaptic learning rules}, journal = {Neurocomputing}, year = {2000}, volume = {32}, pages = {345-351}, note = {chechik_cns99}, } @Article{NeuroComputing-1999, author = {Gal Chechik and Isaac Meilijson and Eyten Ruppin } title = {Neuronal regulation: A biologically plausible mechanism for efficient syanptic prunning in development} journal = {Neurocomputing}, year = {1999}, volume = {26-27}, pages = {633-639}, note = {chechik_cns98}, } @InProceedings{Globerson-2003, AUTHOR = "Amir Globerson and Gal Chechik and Naftali Tishby", TITLE = "Sufficient Dimensionality Reduction with Irrelevant Statistics", BOOKTITLE = "Proceedings of the 19th Annual Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI-03)", PUBLISHER = "Morgan Kaufmann Publishers", ADDRESS = "San Francisco, CA", YEAR = "2003", PAGES = "281-288" } @incollection{Chechik-2005-embedding, author = {Amir {Globerson} and Gal {Chechik} and Fernando {Pereira} and Naftali {Tishby}}, title = {Euclidean Embedding of Co-Occurrence Data}, booktitle = {Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 17}, editor = {Lawrence K.
