PAC-Bayesian Policy Evaluation for Reinforcement Learning
Bayesian priors offer a compact yet general means of incorporating domain knowledge into many learning tasks. The correctness of the Bayesian analysis and inference, however, lar...

Transfer Learning using Kolmogorov Complexity: Basic Theory and Empirical Evaluations
In transfer learning we aim to solve new problems using fewer examples using information gained from solving related problems. Transfer learning has been successful in practice, a...

Gaussian Process Models for Link Analysis and Transfer Learning
In this paper we model relational random variables on the edges of a network using Gaussian processes (GPs). We describe appropriate GP priors, i.e., covariance functions, for dir...

Bayesian learning of Bayesian networks with informative priors
This paper presents and evaluates an approach to Bayesian model averaging where the models are Bayesian nets (BNs). Prior distributions are defined using stochastic logic programs...

Using Quantum Oblivious Transfer to Cheat Sensitive Quantum Bit Commitment
It is well known that unconditionally secure bit commitment is impossible even in the quantum world. In this paper a weak variant of quantum bit commitment, introduced independent...
