This paper studies the PAC and agnostic PAC learnability of some standard function classes in the learning in higher-order logic setting introduced by Lloyd et al. In particular, i...
In this paper we formulate the problem of grouping the states of a discrete Markov chain of arbitrary order simultaneously with deconvolving its transition probabilities. As the na...
Causal independence modelling is a well-known method both for reducing the size of probability tables and for explaining the underlying mechanisms in Bayesian networks. In this pap...
We target the problem of closed-loop learning of control policies that map visual percepts to continuous actions. Our algorithm, called Reinforcement Learning of Joint Classes (RLJ...
Abstract. Approximate Policy Iteration (API) is a reinforcement learning paradigm that is able to solve high-dimensional, continuous control problems. We propose to exploit API for...
Multiple-instance learning (MIL) is a popular concept among the AI community to support supervised learning applications in situations where only incomplete knowledge is available....
Abstract. Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) provide a powerful instrument for labeling sequences. So far, however, CRFs have only been considered for labeling sequences over flat al...
Recently, stability-based techniques have emerged as a very promising solution to the problem of cluster validation. An inherent drawback of these approaches is the computational c...
This work proposes a new approach to the retrieval of images from text queries. Contrasting with previous work, this method relies on a discriminative model: the parameters are sel...
