Dynamical Modeling with Kernels for Nonlinear Time Series Prediction
We consider the question of predicting nonlinear time series. Kernel Dynamical Modeling (KDM), a new method based on kernels, is proposed as an extension to linear dynamical model...

Unsupervised Color Decomposition Of Histologically Stained Tissue Samples
Accurate spectral decomposition is essential for the analysis and diagnosis of histologically stained tissue sections. In this paper we present the first automated system for per...

Bounded Finite State Controllers
We describe a new approximation algorithm for solving partially observable MDPs. Our bounded policy iteration approach searches through the space of bounded-size, stochastic fini...

Analytical Solution of Spike-timing Dependent Plasticity Based on Synaptic Biophysics
Spike timing plasticity (STDP) is a special form of synaptic plasticity where the relative timing of post- and presynaptic activity determines the change of the synaptic weight. O...

Applying Metric-Trees to Belief-Point POMDPs
Recent developments in grid-based and point-based approximation algorithms for POMDPs have greatly improved the tractability of POMDP planning. These approaches operate on sets of...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of a Stochastic Integrate-and-Fire Neural Model
Recent work has examined the estimation of models of stimulus-driven neural activity in which some linear filtering process is followed by a nonlinear, probabilistic spiking stag...

A Sampled Texture Prior for Image Super-Resolution
Super-resolution aims to produce a high-resolution image from a set of one or more low-resolution images by recovering or inventing plausible high-frequency image content. Typical...

Perception of the Structure of the Physical World Using Unknown Multimodal Sensors and Effectors
Is there a way for an algorithm linked to an unknown body to infer by itself information about this body and the world it is in? Taking the case of space for example, is there a w...

Sample Propagation
Rao–Blackwellization is an approximation technique for probabilistic inference that flexibly combines exact inference with sampling. It is useful in models where conditioning o...

An MDP-Based Approach to Online Mechanism Design
Online mechanism design (MD) considers the problem of providing incentives to implement desired system-wide outcomes in systems with self-interested agents that arrive and depart ...
