In this paper the sequential prediction problem with expert advice is considered for the case where losses of experts suffered at each step cannot be bounded in advance. We presen...
A strong inductive bias is essential in unsupervised grammar induction. In this paper, we explore a particular sparsity bias in dependency grammars that encourages a small number ...
This paper describes a Bayesian approximation method to obtain online ranking algorithms for games with multiple teams and multiple players. Recently for Internet games large onli...
A multitask learning framework is developed for discriminative classification and regression where multiple large-margin linear classifiers are estimated for different predictio...
We consider the problem of improving the Gaussian approximate posterior marginals computed by expectation propagation and the Laplace method in latent Gaussian models and propose ...
This paper presents the CLUSTERING ALGORITHMS’ REFEREE PACKAGE or CARP, an open source GNU GPL-licensed C package for evaluating clustering algorithms. Calibrating performance o...
We propose a framework MIC (Multiple Inclusion Criterion) for learning sparse models based on the information theoretic Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle. MIC provides an...

Reports of experiments conducted with an Inductive Logic Programming system rarely describe how specific values of parameters of the system are arrived at when constructing model...
We propose a distance phrase reordering model (DPR) for statistical machine translation (SMT), where the aim is to learn the grammatical rules and context dependent changes using ...
We develop, analyze, and test a training algorithm for support vector machine classifiers without offset. Key features of this algorithm are a new, statistically motivated stoppi...
