In order to perform object recognition it is necessary to learn representations of the underlying components of images. Such components correspond to objects, object-parts, or fea...
In this paper we develop a novel generalization bound for learning the kernel problem. First, we show that the generalization analysis of the kernel learning problem reduces to in...
Reinforcement learning induces non-stationarity at several levels. Adaptation to non-stationary environments is of course a desired feature of a fair RL algorithm. Yet, even if the...
Recently proposed l1-regularized maximum-likelihood optimization methods for learning sparse Markov networks result into convex problems that can be solved optimally and efficien...
Abstract. During recent years much effort has been spent in incorporating problem specific a-priori knowledge into kernel methods for machine learning. A common example is a-prior...
