Robust Kernel Principal Component Analysis
Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) is a popular generalization of linear PCA that allows non-linear feature extraction. In KPCA, data in the input space is mapped to highe...

Biasing Approximate Dynamic Programming with a Lower Discount Factor
Most algorithms for solving Markov decision processes rely on a discount factor, which ensures their convergence. It is generally assumed that using an artificially low discount f...

Clustered Multi-Task Learning: A Convex Formulation
In multi-task learning several related tasks are considered simultaneously, with the hope that by an appropriate sharing of information across tasks, each task may benefit from th...

Signal-to-Noise Ratio Analysis of Policy Gradient Algorithms
Policy gradient (PG) reinforcement learning algorithms have strong (local) convergence guarantees, but their learning performance is typically limited by a large variance in the e...

Implicit Mixtures of Restricted Boltzmann Machines
We present a mixture model whose components are Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs). This possibility has not been considered before because computing the partition function of a...
