Gradient-based numerical optimization of complex engineering designs offers the promise of rapidly producing better designs. However, such methods generally assume that the object...
—A fast online algorithm OnlineSVMR for training Ramp-Loss Support Vector Machines (SVMR s) is proposed. It finds the optimal SVMR for t+1 training examples using SVMR built on t...
Multiarmed bandit problem is a typical example of a dilemma between exploration and exploitation in reinforcement learning. This problem is expressed as a model of a gambler playi...
We are interested in supervised ranking with the following twist: our goal is to design algorithms that perform especially well near the top of the ranked list, and are only requir...
Although speech and language processing techniques achieved a relative maturity during the last decade, designing a spoken dialogue system is still a tailoring task because of the ...
