The Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) is a sparse approximate Bayesian kernel method. It provides full predictive distributions for test cases. However, the predictive uncertainties ...
In this paper, we propose a novel video similarity measure model using video time density function (VTDF) and dynamic programming. First, we employ VTDF to describe the density of...
Log-linear parsing models are often trained by optimizing likelihood, but we would prefer to optimise for a task-specific metric like Fmeasure. Softmax-margin is a convex objecti...
Some of the most successful recent applications of reinforcement learning have used neural networks and the TD algorithm to learn evaluation functions. In this paper, we examine t...
Term-weighting functions derived from various models of retrieval aim to model human notions of relevance more accurately. However, there is a lack of analysis of the sources of e...
