In the multi-armed bandit problem, an online algorithm must choose from a set of strategies in a sequence of n trials so as to minimize the total cost of the chosen strategies. Wh...
Utility elicitation is a critical function of any automated decision aid, allowing decisions to be tailored to the preferences of a specific user. However, the size and complexit...
Petroleum industry production systems are highly automatized. In this industry, all functions (e.g., planning, scheduling and maintenance) are automated and in order to remain comp...
We present multi-task structure learning for Gaussian graphical models. We discuss uniqueness and boundedness of the optimal solution of the maximization problem. A block coordina...
We present a novel discriminative training algorithm for n-gram language models for use in large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. The algorithm uses large margin estimati...
