Distance functions are an important component in many learning applications. However, the correct function is context dependent, therefore it is advantageous to learn a distance f...
A new class of data structures called "bumptrees" is described. These structures are useful for efficiently implementing a number of neural network related operations. A...
The learning in a niche based learning classifier system depends both on the complexity of the problem space and on the number of available actions. In this paper, we introduce a ...
Application-specific dissimilarity functions can be used for learning from a set of objects represented by pairwise dissimilarity matrices in this context. These dissimilarities m...
Our objective is to model the visual manifold of object appearance corresponding to geometric transformation. We learn a generative model for object appearance where the appearanc...
