The Logical Problem of Language Acquisition: A Probabilistic Perspective
Natural language is full of patterns that appear to fit with general linguistic rules but are ungrammatical. There has been much debate over how children acquire these ‘‘ling...

Discriminative learning for differing training and test distributions
We address classification problems for which the training instances are governed by a distribution that is allowed to differ arbitrarily from the test distribution--problems also ...

Suboptimal Behavior of Bayes and MDL in Classification Under Misspecification
We show that forms of Bayesian and MDL inference that are often applied to classification problems can be inconsistent. This means that there exists a learning problem such that fo...

Perspectives on Sparse Bayesian Learning
Recently, relevance vector machines (RVM) have been fashioned from a sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) framework to perform supervised learning using a weight prior that encourages s...

A Priori and A Posteriori Machine Learning and Nonlinear Artificial Neural Networks
The main idea of a priori machine learning is to apply a machine learning method on a machine learning problem itself. We call it "a priori" because the processed data se...
