Consistent Minimization of Clustering Objective Functions
Clustering is often formulated as a discrete optimization problem. The objective is to find, among all partitions of the data set, the best one according to some quality measure....

Early Brain Damage
Optimal Brain Damage (OBD) is a method for reducing the number of weights in a neural network. OBD estimates the increase in cost function if weights are pruned and is a valid app...

Semi-Supervised Classification via Local Spline Regression
Abstract--This paper presents local spline regression for semisupervised classification. The core idea in our approach is to introduce splines developed in Sobolev space to map the...

Learning near-optimal policies with Bellman-residual minimization based fitted policy iteration and a single sample path
Abstract. We consider batch reinforcement learning problems in continuous space, expected total discounted-reward Markovian Decision Problems. As opposed to previous theoretical wo...

Weakly learning DNF and characterizing statistical query learning using Fourier analysis
We present new results on the well-studied problem of learning DNF expressions. We prove that an algorithm due to Kushilevitz and Mansour [13] can be used to weakly learn DNF form...
