Learning to Align: A Statistical Approach
We present a new machine learning approach to the inverse parametric sequence alignment problem: given as training examples a set of correct pairwise global alignments, find the p...

One sketch for all: Theory and Application of Conditional Random Sampling
Conditional Random Sampling (CRS) was originally proposed for efficiently computing pairwise (l2, l1) distances, in static, large-scale, and sparse data. This study modifies the o...

Sharing experiences to learn user characteristics in dynamic environments with sparse data
This paper investigates the problem of estimating the value of probabilistic parameters needed for decision making in environments in which an agent, operating within a multi-agen...

Transfer Learning by Structural Analogy
Transfer learning allows knowledge to be extracted from auxiliary domains and be used to enhance learning in a target domain. For transfer learning to be successful, it is critica...

Model-based function approximation in reinforcement learning
Reinforcement learning promises a generic method for adapting agents to arbitrary tasks in arbitrary stochastic environments, but applying it to new real-world problems remains di...
