The choice of the kernel function is crucial to most applications of support vector machines. In this paper, however, we show that in the case of text classification, term-frequenc...
We present new algorithms for reinforcement learning, and prove that they have polynomial bounds on the resources required to achieve near-optimal return in general Markov decisio...
An issue that is critical for the application of Markov decision processes MDPs to realistic problems is how the complexity of planning scales with the size of the MDP. In stochas...
The decomposition method is currently one of the major methods for solving support vector machines. An important issue of this method is the selection of working sets. In this pape...
A widely acknowledged drawback of many statistical modelling techniques, commonly used in machine learning, is that the resulting model is extremely difficult to interpret. A numb...
In this paper we examine ensemble methods for regression that leverage or "boost" base regressors by iteratively calling them on modified samples. The most successful lev...
Additive clustering was originally developed within cognitive psychology to enable the development of featural models of human mental representation. The representational flexibili...
