Ranking a set of retrieved documents according to their relevance to a query is a popular problem in information retrieval. Methods that learn ranking functions are difficult to o...
We explore dynamic shaping to integrate our prior beliefs of the final policy into a conventional reinforcement learning system. Shaping provides a positive or negative artificial...
— The operation of V1 simple cells in primates has been traditionally modelled with linear models resembling Gabor filters, whereas the functionality of subsequent visual cortic...
The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. Most existing methods can only adapt the kernel parameters or the kernel matrix based on empirical data. Recently, Ong e...
This paper proposes a multiple instance learning (MIL) algorithm for Gaussian processes (GP). The GP-MIL model inherits two crucial benefits from GP: (i) a principle manner of lea...
