We state the problem of inverse reinforcement learning in terms of preference elicitation, resulting in a principled (Bayesian) statistical formulation. This generalises previous w...
How to assess the performance of machine learning algorithms is a problem of increasing interest and urgency as the data mining application of myriad algorithms grows. The standard...
Bayesian approaches to supervised learning use priors on the classifier parameters. However, few priors aim at achieving "sparse" classifiers, where irrelevant/redundant...
Most information extraction (IE) systems identify facts that are explicitly stated in text. However, in natural language, some facts are implicit, and identifying them requires â€...
Two ideas taken from Bayesian optimization and classifier systems are presented for personnel scheduling based on choosing a suitable scheduling rule from a set for each person’s...
