We propose an algorithm for extracting fields from HTML search results. The output of the algorithm is a database table– a data structure that better lends itself to high-level...
We develop latent Dirichlet allocation with WORDNET (LDAWN), an unsupervised probabilistic topic model that includes word sense as a hidden variable. We develop a probabilistic po...
A key problem in reinforcement learning is finding a good balance between the need to explore the environment and the need to gain rewards by exploiting existing knowledge. Much ...
Deep Belief Networks (DBNs) are hierarchical generative models which have been used successfully to model high dimensional visual data. However, they are not robust to common vari...
How should a reinforcement learning agent act if its sole purpose is to efficiently learn an optimal policy for later use? In other words, how should it explore, to be able to exp...
