This paper presents an algorithm to estimate simultaneously both mean and variance of a non parametric regression problem. The key point is that we are able to estimate variance l...
Abstract. While there is strong motivation for using Gaussian Processes (GPs) due to their excellent performance in regression and classification problems, their computational com...
This paper investigates the problem of automatically learning how to restructure the reward function of a Markov decision process so as to speed up reinforcement learning. We begi...

We show that under reasonable conditions, online learning for a nonlinear function near a local minimum is similar to a multivariate Ornstein Uhlenbeck process. This implies that ...
