Discriminative learning techniques for sequential data have proven to be more effective than generative models for named entity recognition, information extraction, and other task...
We propose an omnivariate decision tree architecture which contains univariate, multivariate linear or nonlinear nodes, matching the complexity of the node to the complexity of the...
Gradient Boosting and bagging applied to regressors can reduce the error due to bias and variance respectively. Alternatively, Stochastic Gradient Boosting (SGB) and Iterated Baggi...
The multi-armed bandit problem for a gambler is to decide which arm of a K-slot machine to pull to maximize his total reward in a series of trials. Many real-world learning and opt...
Abstract. We consider the problem of predicting how a user will continue a given initial text fragment. Intuitively, our goal is to develop a “tab-complete” function for natura...
