Many regression schemes deliver a point estimate only, but often it is useful or even essential to quantify the uncertainty inherent in a prediction. If a conditional density estim...
Abstract. Feature selection in reinforcement learning (RL), i.e. choosing basis functions such that useful approximations of the unkown value function can be obtained, is one of th...
Abstract. Accurately evaluating statistical independence among random variables is a key component of Independent Component Analysis (ICA). In this paper, we employ a squared-loss ...
Graph cut image segmentation with intensity information alone is prone to fail for objects with weak edges, in clutter, or under occlusion. Existing methods to incorporate shape a...
A method is proposed for semiparametric estimation where parametric and nonparametric criteria are exploited in density estimation and unsupervised learning. This is accomplished ...
