Deep Belief Networks (DBN's) are generative models that contain many layers of hidden variables. Efficient greedy algorithms for learning and approximate inference have allow...
A major problem in machine learning is that of inductive bias: how to choose a learner's hypothesis space so that it is large enough to contain a solution to the problem bein...
In this paper we study the question of whether identifiable classes have subclasses which are identifiable under a more restrictive criterion. The chosen framework is inductive ...
We analyze the application of ensemble learning to recommender systems on the Netflix Prize dataset. For our analysis we use a set of diverse state-of-the-art collaborative filt...
Occam’s razor is the principle that, given two hypotheses consistent with the observed data, the simpler one should be preferred. Many machine learning algorithms follow this pr...
