We consider model-based reinforcement learning in finite Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), focussing on so-called optimistic strategies. Optimism is usually implemented by carryin...
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) are widely used for planning under uncertainty. In many applications, the huge size of the POMDP state space makes straightf...

In this paper, we propose a novel learning method, called Jensen-Shannon Boosting (JSBoost) and demonstrate its application to object recognition. JSBoost incorporates Jensen-Shan...
Background: Machine-learning tools have gained considerable attention during the last few years for analyzing biological networks for protein function prediction. Kernel methods a...
Variational methods have proved popular and effective for inference and learning in intractable graphical models. An attractive feature of the approaches based on the Kullback-Lei...
