Online feature elicitation in interactive optimization
Most models of utility elicitation in decision support and interactive optimization assume a predefined set of "catalog" features over which user preferences are express...

Predicting good probabilities with supervised learning
We examine the relationship between the predictions made by different learning algorithms and true posterior probabilities. We show that maximum margin methods such as boosted tre...

Cranking: Combining Rankings Using Conditional Probability Models on Permutations
A new approach to ensemble learning is introduced that takes ranking rather than classification as fundamental, leading to models on the symmetric group and its cosets. The approa...

Estimating divergence functionals and the likelihood ratio by convex risk minimization
We develop and analyze M-estimation methods for divergence functionals and the likelihood ratios of two probability distributions. Our method is based on a non-asymptotic variatio...

Predicting probability distributions for surf height using an ensemble of mixture density networks
There is a range of potential applications of Machine Learning where it would be more useful to predict the probability distribution for a variable rather than simply the most lik...
