Different aspects of the curse of dimensionality are known to present serious challenges to various machine-learning methods and tasks. This paper explores a new aspect of the dim...
The problems of dimension reduction and inference of statistical dependence are addressed by the modeling framework of learning gradients. The models we propose hold for Euclidean...
This paper presents a statistical model for expressing preferences through rankings, when the number of alternatives (items to rank) is large. A human ranker will then typically r...
We propose a class of Bayesian networks appropriate for structured prediction problems where the Bayesian network's model structure is a function of the predicted output stru...
This paper introduces a Bayesian algorithm for constructing predictive models from data that are optimized to predict a target variable well for a particular instance. This algori...
The GPML toolbox provides a wide range of functionality for Gaussian process (GP) inference and prediction. GPs are specified by mean and covariance functions; we offer a library ...
Continuous-time Bayesian networks is a natural structured representation language for multicomponent stochastic processes that evolve continuously over time. Despite the compact r...
In this paper, we propose a general framework for sparse semi-supervised learning, which concerns using a small portion of unlabeled data and a few labeled data to represent targe...
This paper considers the problem of estimating a high dimensional inverse covariance matrix that can be well approximated by "sparse" matrices. Taking advantage of the c...
This paper develops algorithms to train support vector machines when training data are distributed across different nodes, and their communication to a centralized processing unit...
