Research in education and cognitive development suggests that explaining plays a key role in learning and generalization: When learners provide explanations--even to themselves--t...
Image retrieval critically relies on the distance function used to compare a query image to images in the database. We suggest to learn such distance functions by training binary ...
In this paper, we present an information-theoretic approach to learning a Mahalanobis distance function. We formulate the problem as that of minimizing the differential relative e...

We evaluate two broad classes of cognitive mechanisms that might support the learning of sequential patterns. According to the first, learning is based on the gradual accumulation...
We study the problem of dynamic spectrum sensing and access in cognitive radio systems as a partially observed Markov decision process (POMDP). A group of cognitive users cooperati...
