We describe a novel framework for the design and analysis of online learning algorithms based on the notion of duality in constrained optimization. We cast a sub-family of universa...
Gradient-based numerical optimization of complex engineering designs offers the promise of rapidly producing better designs. However, such methods generally assume that the object...
Markov decision processes are an effective tool in modeling decision-making in uncertain dynamic environments. Since the parameters of these models are typically estimated from da...
We describe a new boosting algorithm that is the first such algorithm to be both smooth and adaptive. These two features make possible performance improvements for many learning ...
We propose a new transductive learning algorithm for learning optimal linear representations that utilizes unlabeled data. We pose the problem of learning linear representations a...
