We describe a causal learning method, which employs measuring the strength of statistical dependences in terms of the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of kernel-based cross-covariance operato...

Hierarchical reinforcement learning (RL) is a general framework which studies how to exploit the structure of actions and tasks to accelerate policy learning in large domains. Pri...
Abstract. Ensemble methods are popular learning methods that usually increase the predictive accuracy of a classifier though at the cost of interpretability and insight in the deci...
Distance-based methods in machine learning and pattern recognition have to rely on a metric distance between points in the input space. Instead of specifying a metric a priori, we...
