They arise, e.g., when imposing coherent decisions of classifiers acting on different views of the same pattern. Constrained variational calculus is exploited to derive a representer theorem that provides a description of the functional structure of the solution. The general theory is applied to learning from hard linear point-wise constraints combined with classical supervised pairs and loss functions. date: 2014 date_type: published event_title: 20th Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS 2014) event_location: Barcelona, Spain event_dates: July 13-18, 2014 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE book_title: Book of abstracts of the 20th Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS 2014) official_url: http://www.ifors2014.org/files2/program-ifors2014.pdf citation: Gnecco, Giorgio and Gori, Marco and Melacci, Stefano and Sanguineti, Marcello A Machine-Learning Paradigm that Includes Pointwise Constraints.
