Fitting of non-Gaussian hierarchical random effects models by approximate maximum likelihood can be made automatic to the same extent that Bayesian model fitting can be automated ...
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular algorithm for parameter estimation in models with hidden variables. However, the algorithm has several non-trivial limitat...
We consider a novel problem of learning an optimal matching, in an online fashion, between two feature spaces that are organized as taxonomies. We formulate this as a multi-armed ...
—Many complex dynamical phenomena can be effectively modeled by a system that switches among a set of conditionally linear dynamical modes. We consider two such models: the switc...

Abstract. Bayesian reinforcement learning (RL) is aimed at making more efficient use of data samples, but typically uses significantly more computation. For discrete Markov Decis...
