Our approach is based on a hierarchical Bayesian framework, that exploits the equivalence between parametric linear models and nonparametric Gaussian processes (GPs). The resulting models can be learned easily via an EM-algorithm. Empirical studies on multi-label text categorization suggest that the presented models allow accurate solutions of these multi-task problems.}, publisher = {ACM}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/learning-gaussian-processes-from-multiple-tasks/}, pages = {1012-1019}, edition = {Machine Learning: Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference (ICML 2005)}, }
