Recent work has shown that one can learn the structure of Gaussian Graphical Models by imposing an L1 penalty on the precision matrix, and then using efficient convex optimization...
Graph based semi-supervised learning (SSL) methods play an increasingly important role in practical machine learning systems. A crucial step in graph based SSL methods is the conv...
There has been much interest in unsupervised learning of hierarchical generative models such as deep belief networks. Scaling such models to full-sized, high-dimensional images re...

Large margin learning of Continuous Density HMMs with a partially labeled dataset has been extensively studied in the speech and handwriting recognition fields. Yet due to the non...
We present a general Bayesian framework for hyperparameter tuning in L2-regularized supervised learning models. Paradoxically, our algorithm works by first analytically integratin...
Recent approaches to learning structured predictors often require approximate inference for tractability; yet its effects on the learned model are unclear. Meanwhile, most learnin...
This paper explores online learning approaches for detecting malicious Web sites (those involved in criminal scams) using lexical and host-based features of the associated URLs. W...

Relational world models that can be learned from experience in stochastic domains have received significant attention recently. However, efficient planning using these models rema...
This paper presents a theoretical framework for ranking, and demonstrates how to perform generalization analysis of listwise ranking algorithms using the framework. Many learning-...
Information theoretic based measures form a fundamental class of similarity measures for comparing clusterings, beside the class of pair-counting based and set-matching based meas...
