In this paper, we introduce a generic framework for semi-supervised kernel learning. Given pairwise (dis-)similarity constraints, we learn a kernel matrix over the data that respe...
This paper presents a novel framework called proto-reinforcement learning (PRL), based on a mathematical model of a proto-value function: these are task-independent basis function...
The paper deals with the concept of relevance learning in learning vector quantization and classification. Recent machine learning approaches with the ability of metric adaptation...

The success of popular algorithms such as k-means clustering or nearest neighbor searches depend on the assumption that the underlying distance functions reflect domain-specific n...
Two variable metric reinforcement learning methods, the natural actor-critic algorithm and the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy, are compared on a conceptual level a...
