Research papers on Classification in Machine Learning

Classification is the task to assign probability to different categories based on how an object (like image and text) is likely to match the category. Intense research has been done in this domain. We have presented Research Papers in this domain using Machine Learning approaches.

Following are the research papers that you must go through to understand Classification in Machine Learning:

  • Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Classification: A Comprehensive Review (by MIT)
  • Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Text Classification (by Facebook Research)
  • Accelerating Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Classification and Detection (by Microsoft Research)
  • Active Convolution: Learning the Shape of Convolution for Image Classification
  • Random Subwindows for Robust Image Classification
  • CNN-RNN: A Unified Framework for Multi-label Image Classification
  • Randomized Clustering Forests for Image Classification
  • PCANet: A Simple Deep Learning Baseline for Image Classification?
  • Are Sparse Representations Really Relevant for Image Classification?

We will go through the papers in short and share the links to access it accordingly:
