Leo Harrington surprisingly constructed a machine which can learn any computable function f according to the following criterion (called Bc∗ -identification). His machine, on t...
Gradient boosting is a flexible machine learning technique that produces accurate predictions by combining many weak learners. In this work, we investigate its use in two applica...

Policy gradient (PG) reinforcement learning algorithms have strong (local) convergence guarantees, but their learning performance is typically limited by a large variance in the e...
We consider the problem of learning a mapping function from low-level feature space to high-level semantic space. Under the assumption that the data lie on a submanifold embedded ...
In this paper, we propose a support vector machine with automatic confidence (SVMAC) for gender classification based on facial images. Namely, we explore how to incorporate confide...
