An Entropic Estimator for Structure Discovery
We introduce a novel framework for simultaneous structure and parameter learning in hidden-variable conditional probability models, based on an entropic prior and a solution for i...

Approximate Learning of Dynamic Models
Inference is a key component in learning probabilistic models from partially observable data. When learning temporal models, each of the many inference phases requires a complete ...

Lazy Learning Meets the Recursive Least Squares Algorithm
Lazy learning is a memory-based technique that, once a query is received, extracts a prediction interpolating locally the neighboring examples of the query which are considered re...

Semi-Supervised Support Vector Machines
We introduce a semi-supervised support vector machine (S3 VM) method. Given a training set of labeled data and a working set of unlabeled data, S3 VM constructs a support vector m...

Probabilistic Modeling for Face Orientation Discrimination: Learning from Labeled and Unlabeled Data
This paper presents probabilistic modeling methods to solve the problem of discriminating between five facial orientations with very little labeled data. Three models are explored...

Making Templates Rotationally Invariant. An Application to Rotated Digit Recognition
This paper describes a simple and efficient method to make template-based object classification invariant to in-plane rotations. The task is divided into two parts: orientation di...

Gradient Descent for General Reinforcement Learning
A simple learning rule is derived, the VAPS algorithm, which can be instantiated to generate a wide range of new reinforcementlearning algorithms. These algorithms solve a number ...

1-norm Support Vector Machines
The standard 2-norm SVM is known for its good performance in twoclass classi£cation. In this paper, we consider the 1-norm SVM. We argue that the 1-norm SVM may have some advanta...
