In machine learning problems with tens of thousands of features and only dozens or hundreds of independent training examples, dimensionality reduction is essential for good learni...
Reinforcement learning (RL) was originally proposed as a framework to allow agents to learn in an online fashion as they interact with their environment. Existing RL algorithms co...

In medical diagnosis, doctors often have to order sets of medical tests in sequence in order to make an accurate diagnosis of patient diseases. While doing so they have to make a ...
The structure of a Bayesian network (BN) encodes variable independence. Learning the structure of a BN, however, is typically of high computational complexity. In this paper, we e...
We present a new, statistical approach to rule learning. Doing so, we address two of the problems inherent in traditional rule learning: The computational hardness of finding rule...
