In this paper, we address two issues of long-standing interest in the reinforcement learning literature. First, what kinds of performance guarantees can be made for Q-learning aft...
Over the past few years, the notion of stability in data clustering has received growing attention as a cluster validation criterion in a sample-based framework. However, recent w...
Abstract--The Lagrangian formulation of variable-rate vector quantization is known to yield useful necessary conditions for quantizer optimality and generalized Lloyd algorithms fo...
Empirical evidence shows that in favorable situations semi-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms can capitalize on the abundance of unlabeled training data to improve the performan...
Gaussian blurring mean-shift (GBMS) is a nonparametric clustering algorithm, having a single bandwidth parameter that controls the number of clusters. The algorithm iteratively sh...
