Model Uncertainty in Classical Conditioning
We develop a framework based on Bayesian model averaging to explain how animals cope with uncertainty about contingencies in classical conditioning experiments. Traditional accoun...

AUC Optimization vs. Error Rate Minimization
The area under an ROC curve (AUC) is a criterion used in many applications to measure the quality of a classification algorithm. However, the objective function optimized in most...

Gene Expression Clustering with Functional Mixture Models
We propose a functional mixture model for simultaneous clustering and alignment of sets of curves measured on a discrete time grid. The model is specifically tailored to gene exp...

Optimal Manifold Representation of Data: An Information Theoretic Approach
We introduce an information theoretic method for nonparametric, nonlinear dimensionality reduction, based on the infinite cluster limit of rate distortion theory. By constraining...

Minimising Contrastive Divergence in Noisy, Mixed-mode VLSI Neurons
This paper presents VLSI circuits with continuous-valued probabilistic behaviour realized by injecting noise into each computing unit(neuron). Interconnecting the noisy neurons fo...

All learning is Local: Multi-agent Learning in Global Reward Games
In large multiagent games, partial observability, coordination, and credit assignment persistently plague attempts to design good learning algorithms. We provide a simple and ef...

Phonetic Speaker Recognition with Support Vector Machines
A recent area of significant progress in speaker recognition is the use of high level features—idiolect, phonetic relations, prosody, discourse structure, etc. A speaker not on...

Minimax Embeddings
Spectral methods for nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NLDR) impose a neighborhood graph on point data and compute eigenfunctions of a quadratic form generated from the graph. W...
