An important theoretical tool in machine learning is the bias/variance decomposition of the generalization error. It was introduced for the mean square error in [3]. The bias/vari...
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes have been studied widely as a model for decision making under uncertainty, and a number of methods have been developed to find the s...
Policy gradient methods for reinforcement learning avoid some of the undesirable properties of the value function approaches, such as policy degradation (Baxter and Bartlett, 2001...

In many regression tasks, in addition to an accurate estimate of the conditional mean of the target distribution, an indication of the predictive uncertainty is also required. Ther...

Background: Supervised learning for classification of cancer employs a set of design examples to learn how to discriminate between tumors. In practice it is crucial to confirm tha...
