Finite-Sample Convergence Rates for Q-Learning and Indirect Algorithms
In this paper, we address two issues of long-standing interest in the reinforcement learning literature. First, what kinds of performance guarantees can be made for Q-learning aft...

Inference in Multilayer Networks via Large Deviation Bounds
We study probabilistic inference in large, layered Bayesian networks represented as directed acyclic graphs. We show that the intractability of exact inference in such networks do...

Maximum Conditional Likelihood via Bound Maximization and the CEM Algorithm
We present the CEM (Conditional Expectation Maximization) algorithm as an extension of the EM (Expectation Maximization) algorithm to conditional density estimation under missing ...

Restructuring Sparse High Dimensional Data for Effective Retrieval
The task in text retrieval is to find the subset of a collection of documents relevant to a user's information request, usually expressed as a set of words. Classically, docu...

Convergence of the Wake-Sleep Algorithm
The W-S (Wake-Sleep) algorithm is a simple learning rule for the models with hidden variables. It is shown that this algorithm can be applied to a factor analysis model which is a...

Call-Based Fraud Detection in Mobile Communication Networks Using a Hierarchical Regime-Switching Model
Fraud causes substantial losses to telecommunication carriers. Detection systems which automatically detect illegal use of the network can be used to alleviate the problem. Previo...

Learning from Dyadic Data
Dyadic data refers to a domain with two nite sets of objects in which observations are made for dyads, i.e., pairs with one element from either set. This type of data arises natur...

Outcomes of the Equivalence of Adaptive Ridge with Least Absolute Shrinkage
Adaptive Ridge is a special form of Ridge regression, balancing the quadratic penalization on each parameter of the model. It was shown to be equivalent to Lasso (least absolute s...
