In many applications, such as credit default prediction and medical image recognition, test inputs are available in addition to the labeled training examples. We propose a method ...
The observed distribution of natural images is far from uniform. On the contrary, real images have complex and important structure that can be exploited for image processing, reco...
A new algorithm is presented which approximates the perceived visual similarity between images. The images are initially transformed into a feature space which captures visual str...
In many real world tasks, only a small fraction of the available inputs are important at any particular time. This paper presents a method for ascertaining the relevance of inputs...
Prioritized sweeping is a model-based reinforcement learning method that attempts to focus an agent’s limited computational resources to achieve a good estimate of the value of ...
This paper describes some of the interactions of model learning algorithms and planning algorithms we have found in exploring model-based reinforcement learning. The paper focuses...
In theory, the Winnow multiplicative update has certain advantages over the Perceptron additive update when there are many irrelevant attributes. Recently, there has been much eff...
In an important recent paper, Yedidia, Freeman, and Weiss [11] showed that there is a close connection between the belief propagation algorithm for probabilistic inference and the...
