One of the fundamental problems in the theory of social choice is aggregating the rankings of a set of agents (or voters) into a consensus ranking. Rank aggregation has found appl...
We present a model-free reinforcement learning method for partially observable Markov decision problems. Our method estimates a likelihood gradient by sampling directly in paramet...
This paper presents a method for learning decision theoretic models of facial expressions and gestures from video data. We consider that the meaning of a facial display or gesture...
In this paper we address the problem of predicting when the available data is incomplete. We show that changing the generally accepted table-wise view of the sample items into a g...
Getting synthetic faces to display natural facial expressions is essential to enhance the interaction between human users and virtual characters. Yet traditional facial control te...
