Learning algorithms for online principal-agent problems (and selling goods online)
In a principal-agent problem, a principal seeks to motivate an agent to take a certain action beneficial to the principal, while spending as little as possible on the reward. This...

Efficient co-regularised least squares regression
In many applications, unlabelled examples are inexpensive and easy to obtain. Semisupervised approaches try to utilise such examples to reduce the predictive error. In this paper,...

Convex optimization techniques for fitting sparse Gaussian graphical models
We consider the problem of fitting a large-scale covariance matrix to multivariate Gaussian data in such a way that the inverse is sparse, thus providing model selection. Beginnin...

On Bayesian bounds
We show that several important Bayesian bounds studied in machine learning, both in the batch as well as the online setting, arise by an application of a simple compression lemma....

A new approach to data driven clustering
We consider the problem of clustering in its most basic form where only a local metric on the data space is given. No parametric statistical model is assumed, and the number of cl...

Dynamic topic models
A family of probabilistic time series models is developed to analyze the time evolution of topics in large document collections. The approach is to use state space models on the n...

Relational temporal difference learning
We introduce relational temporal difference learning as an effective approach to solving multi-agent Markov decision problems with large state spaces. Our algorithm uses temporal ...
