A practical generalization of Fourier-based learning
This paper presents a search algorithm for finding functions that are highly correlated with an arbitrary set of data. The functions found by the search can be used to approximate...

Learning as search optimization: approximate large margin methods for structured prediction
Mappings to structured output spaces (strings, trees, partitions, etc.) are typically learned using extensions of classification algorithms to simple graphical structures (eg., li...

Hedged learning: regret-minimization with learning experts
In non-cooperative multi-agent situations, there cannot exist a globally optimal, yet opponent-independent learning algorithm. Regret-minimization over a set of strategies optimiz...

Learning to compete, compromise, and cooperate in repeated general-sum games
Learning algorithms often obtain relatively low average payoffs in repeated general-sum games between other learning agents due to a focus on myopic best-response and one-shot Nas...

A general regression technique for learning transductions
The problem of learning a transduction, that is a string-to-string mapping, is a common problem arising in natural language processing and computational biology. Previous methods ...

Predicting probability distributions for surf height using an ensemble of mixture density networks
There is a range of potential applications of Machine Learning where it would be more useful to predict the probability distribution for a variable rather than simply the most lik...

Recognition and reproduction of gestures using a probabilistic framework combining PCA, ICA and HMM
This paper explores the issue of recognizing, generalizing and reproducing arbitrary gestures. We aim at extracting a representation that encapsulates only the key aspects of the ...

Learning to rank using gradient descent
We investigate using gradient descent methods for learning ranking functions; we propose a simple probabilistic cost function, and we introduce RankNet, an implementation of these...
