Off-policy reinforcement learning is aimed at efficiently reusing data samples gathered in the past, which is an essential problem for physically grounded AI as experiments are us...
Variational methods for model comparison have become popular in the neural computing/machine learning literature. In this paper we explore their application to the Bayesian analys...
Bias/variance analysis is a useful tool for investigating the performance of machine learning algorithms. Conventional analysis decomposes loss into errors due to aspects of the le...
Sparse coding of sensory data has recently attracted notable attention in research of learning useful features from the unlabeled data. Empirical studies show that mapping the data...
We study a class of algorithms that speed up the training process of support vector machines (SVMs) by returning an approximate SVM. We focus on algorithms that reduce the size of...
