Piecewise pseudolikelihood for efficient training of conditional random fields
Discriminative training of graphical models can be expensive if the variables have large cardinality, even if the graphical structure is tractable. In such cases, pseudolikelihood...

On the role of tracking in stationary environments
It is often thought that learning algorithms that track the best solution, as opposed to converging to it, are important only on nonstationary problems. We present three results s...

A kernel-based causal learning algorithm
We describe a causal learning method, which employs measuring the strength of statistical dependences in terms of the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of kernel-based cross-covariance operato...

Sample compression bounds for decision trees
We propose a formulation of the Decision Tree learning algorithm in the Compression settings and derive tight generalization error bounds. In particular, we propose Sample Compres...

Restricted Boltzmann machines for collaborative filtering
Most of the existing approaches to collaborative filtering cannot handle very large data sets. In this paper we show how a class of two-layer undirected graphical models, called R...

Graph clustering with network structure indices
Graph clustering has become ubiquitous in the study of relational data sets. We examine two simple algorithms: a new graphical adaptation of the k-medoids algorithm and the Girvan...

More efficiency in multiple kernel learning
An efficient and general multiple kernel learning (MKL) algorithm has been recently proposed by Sonnenburg et al. (2006). This approach has opened new perspectives since it makes ...

Reinforcement learning by reward-weighted regression for operational space control
Many robot control problems of practical importance, including operational space control, can be reformulated as immediate reward reinforcement learning problems. However, few of ...

Analyzing feature generation for value-function approximation
We analyze a simple, Bellman-error-based approach to generating basis functions for valuefunction approximation. We show that it generates orthogonal basis functions that provably...

Learning for efficient retrieval of structured data with noisy queries
Increasingly large collections of structured data necessitate the development of efficient, noise-tolerant retrieval tools. In this work, we consider this issue and describe an ap...
