Active learning for Hidden Markov Models: objective functions and algorithms
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) model sequential data in many fields such as text/speech processing and biosignal analysis. Active learning algorithms learn faster and/or better by cl...

Action respecting embedding
Dimensionality reduction is the problem of finding a low-dimensional representation of highdimensional input data. This paper examines the case where additional information is kno...

Multi-way distributional clustering via pairwise interactions
We present a novel unsupervised learning scheme that simultaneously clusters variables of several types (e.g., documents, words and authors) based on pairwise interactions between...

Exploration and apprenticeship learning in reinforcement learning
We consider reinforcement learning in systems with unknown dynamics. Algorithms such as E3 (Kearns and Singh, 2002) learn near-optimal policies by using "exploration policies...

A duality view of spectral methods for dimensionality reduction
We present a unified duality view of several recently emerged spectral methods for nonlinear dimensionality reduction, including Isomap, locally linear embedding, Laplacian eigenm...

Discriminative unsupervised learning of structured predictors
We present a new unsupervised algorithm for training structured predictors that is discriminative, convex, and avoids the use of EM. The idea is to formulate an unsupervised versi...

Learning user preferences for sets of objects
Most work on preference learning has focused on pairwise preferences or rankings over individual items. In this paper, we present a method for learning preferences over sets of it...

Efficient lazy elimination for averaged one-dependence estimators
Semi-naive Bayesian classifiers seek to retain the numerous strengths of naive Bayes while reducing error by weakening the attribute independence assumption. Backwards Sequential ...

Statistical debugging: simultaneous identification of multiple bugs
We describe a statistical approach to software debugging in the presence of multiple bugs. Due to sparse sampling issues and complex interaction between program predicates, many g...
