Natural policy gradient methods and the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy, two variable metric methods proposed for solving reinforcement learning tasks, are contrast...
Abstract. Good similarity functions are at the heart of effective case-based reasoning. However, the similarity functions that have been designed so far have been mostly linear, we...
This paper presents a graph-based approach for spoken term detection. Each first-pass retrieved utterance is a node on a graph and the edge between two nodes is weighted by the s...
If all features causing heterogeneity were observed, a mixture of experts approach (Jacobs et al., 1991) is likely to be superior to using a single model. When unobserved or very n...
This paper examines what kind of similarity between words can be represented by what kind of word vectors in the vector space model. Through two experiments, three methods for con...
