The statistical perspective on boosting algorithms focuses on optimization, drawing parallels with maximum likelihood estimation for logistic regression. In this paper we present ...
We study the joint feature selection problem when learning multiple related classification or regression tasks. By imposing an automatic relevance determination prior on the hypo...

Policy gradient approaches are a powerful instrument for learning how to interact with the environment. Existing approaches have focused on propositional and continuous domains on...
Abstract. Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) provide a powerful instrument for labeling sequences. So far, however, CRFs have only been considered for labeling sequences over flat al...
This paper describes a novel application of Statistical Learning Theory (SLT) to control model complexity in flow estimation. SLT provides analytical generalization bounds suitabl...
