— The least squares approach works efficiently in value function approximation, given appropriate basis functions. Because of its smoothness, the Gaussian kernel is a popular an...

We propose a nonparametric extension to the factor analysis problem using a beta process prior. This beta process factor analysis (BPFA) model allows for a dataset to be decompose...
We present an algorithm based on convex optimization for constructing kernels for semi-supervised learning. The kernel matrices are derived from the spectral decomposition of grap...

We introduce Hidden Process Models (HPMs), a class of probabilistic models for multivariate time series data. The design of HPMs has been motivated by the challenges of modeling h...

We present a probabilistic model for clustering of objects represented via pairwise dissimilarities. We propose that even if an underlying vectorial representation exists, it is b...
