The representation used by a learning algorithm introduces a bias which is more or less well-suited to any given learning problem. It is well known that, across all possible probl...
The current evaluation functions for heuristic planning are expensive to compute. In numerous domains these functions give good guidance on the solution, so it worths the computat...
Abstract a paradigm of modern Machine Learning (ML) which uses rewards and punishments to guide the learning process. One of the central ideas of RL is learning by “direct-online...
This paper presents an approach to automatically optimizing the retrieval quality of search engines using clickthrough data. Intuitively, a good information retrieval system shoul...
We present a novel approach to statistical shape analysis of anatomical structures based on small sample size learning techniques. The high complexity of shape models used in medic...
