: Course generation knowledge, i.e., how to assemble a sequence of learning objects which is adapted to a learner’s goals, competencies and preferences, is hard to assess and exp...
Choosing good features to represent objects can be crucial to the success of supervised machine learning algorithms. Good high-level features are those that concentrate informatio...
A key problem in reinforcement learning is finding a good balance between the need to explore the environment and the need to gain rewards by exploiting existing knowledge. Much ...
Covariance estimation for high dimensional vectors is a classically difficult problem in statistical analysis and machine learning. In this paper, we propose a maximum likelihood ...
We present a new and efficient semi-supervised training method for parameter estimation and feature selection in conditional random fields (CRFs). In real-world applications suc...
