Principal components and canonical correlations are at the root of many exploratory data mining techniques and provide standard pre-processing tools in machine learning. Lately, p...
We develop a hierarchical, nonparametric statistical model for wavelet representations of natural images. Extending previous work on Gaussian scale mixtures, wavelet coefficients ...

Transfer learning aims at reusing the knowledge in some source tasks to improve the learning of a target task. Many transfer learning methods assume that the source tasks and the ...

— Legged robots require accurate models of their environment in order to plan and execute paths. We present a probabilistic technique based on Gaussian processes that allows terr...

This paper examines the notion of symmetry in Markov decision processes (MDPs). We define symmetry for an MDP and show how it can be exploited for more effective learning in singl...
