This paper presents a method for learning a distance metric from relative comparison such as “A is closer to B than A is to C”. Taking a Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach,...
In this paper, we present Creature Academy, a virtual laboratory that allows for the evolution of form and function within simulated physical 3D environments. Creature Academy can ...
Motivation is well-known for its importance in learning and its influence on cognitive processes. Adaptive systems would greatly benefit from having a user model of the learner’s...
In many applications involving continuous data streams, data arrival is bursty and data rate fluctuates over time. Systems that seek to give rapid or realtime query responses in su...
