Abstract— The future of robots, as our companions is dependent on their ability to understand, interpret and represent the environment in a human compatible manner. Towards this ...
We address the problem of learning topic hierarchies from data. The model selection problem in this domain is daunting—which of the large collection of possible trees to use? We...

We propose a new method for comparing learning algorithms on multiple tasks which is based on a novel non-parametric test that we call the Poisson binomial test. The key aspect of...
We propose a novel approach to experience collection for autonomous service robots performing complex activities. This approach enables robots to data for many learning problems at...
A key problem in reinforcement learning is finding a good balance between the need to explore the environment and the need to gain rewards by exploiting existing knowledge. Much ...
