— Object recognition is a challenging problem for artificial systems. This is especially true for objects that are placed in cluttered and uncontrolled environments. To challenge...
For interaction with its environment, a robot is required to learn models of objects and to perceive these models in the livestreams from its sensors. In this paper, we propose a ...
In some environments, a learning agent must learn to balance competing objectives. For example, a Q-learner agent may need to learn which choices expose the agent to risk and whic...
This paper presents a new information acquisition problem motivated by business applications where customer data has to be acquired with a specific modeling objective in mind. In ...
Calculation of object similarity, for example through a distance function, is a common part of data mining and machine learning algorithms. This calculation is crucial for efficie...
