Many real world learning problems are best characterized by an interaction of multiple independent causes or factors. Discovering such causal structure from the data is the focus ...
—We consider a multiarmed bandit problem where the expected reward of each arm is a linear function of an unknown scalar with a prior distribution. The objective is to choose a s...

We present a multiple-instance regression algorithm that models internal bag structure to identify the items most relevant to the bag labels. Multiple-instance regression (MIR) op...
We address the issue of classifying complex data. We focus on three main sources of complexity, namely, the high dimensionality of the observed data, the dependencies between these...
A significant challenge for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems is maintaining the correctness and consistency of their global data structures and shared contents as peers independently a...
