Bayesian learning of measurement and structural models
We present a Bayesian search algorithm for learning the structure of latent variable models of continuous variables. We stress the importance of applying search operators designed...

Iterative RELIEF for feature weighting
RELIEF is considered one of the most successful algorithms for assessing the quality of features. In this paper, we propose a set of new feature weighting algorithms that perform s...

Permutation invariant SVMs
We extend Support Vector Machines to input spaces that are sets by ensuring that the classifier is invariant to permutations of subelements within each input. Such permutations in...

Feature value acquisition in testing: a sequential batch test algorithm
In medical diagnosis, doctors often have to order sets of medical tests in sequence in order to make an accurate diagnosis of patient diseases. While doing so they have to make a ...

Null space versus orthogonal linear discriminant analysis
Dimensionality reduction is an important pre-processing step for many applications. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is one of the well known methods for supervised dimensionali...

Experience-efficient learning in associative bandit problems
We formalize the associative bandit problem framework introduced by Kaelbling as a learning-theory problem. The learning environment is modeled as a k-armed bandit where arm payof...

PAC model-free reinforcement learning
For a Markov Decision Process with finite state (size S) and action spaces (size A per state), we propose a new algorithm--Delayed Q-Learning. We prove it is PAC, achieving near o...

Bayesian pattern ranking for move prediction in the game of Go
We investigate the problem of learning to predict moves in the board game of Go from game records of expert players. In particular, we obtain a probability distribution over legal...
