It is well known that prior knowledge or bias can speed up learning, at least in theory. It has proved di cult to make constructive use of prior knowledge, so that approximately c...
When the training instances of the target class are heavily outnumbered by non-target training instances, SVMs can be ineffective in determining the class boundary. To remedy this...
In previous work, we proposed a unique landmark-based map learning method for mobile robots based on the “co-visibility” information i.e., very coarse qualitative information o...
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...
