We present a method for parameter learning in relational Bayesian networks (RBNs). Our approach consists of compiling the RBN model into a computation graph for the likelihood fun...
Almost all successful machine learning algorithms and cognitive models require powerful representations capturing the features that are relevant to a particular problem. We draw o...
In the inductive inference framework of learning in the limit, a variation of the bounded example memory (Bem) language learning model is considered. Intuitively, the new model con...
In this paper, we introduce a new, formal model of learning object metadata. The model enables more formal, rigorous reasoning over metadata. An important feature of the model is t...
We consider reinforcement learning in systems with unknown dynamics. Algorithms such as E3 (Kearns and Singh, 2002) learn near-optimal policies by using "exploration policies...
