No Unbiased Estimator of the Variance of K-Fold Cross-Validation
Most machine learning researchers perform quantitative experiments to estimate generalization error and compare algorithm performances. In order to draw statistically convincing c...

Auction Mechanism Design for Multi-Robot Coordination
The design of cooperative multi-robot systems is a highly active research area in robotics. Two lines of research in particular have generated interest: the solution of large, wea...

The IM Algorithm: A Variational Approach to Information Maximization
The maximisation of information transmission over noisy channels is a common, albeit generally computationally difficult problem. We approach the difficulty of computing the mutua...

Multiple-Instance Learning via Disjunctive Programming Boosting
Learning from ambiguous training data is highly relevant in many applications. We present a new learning algorithm for classification problems where labels are associated with se...

Policy Search by Dynamic Programming
We consider the policy search approach to reinforcement learning. We show that if a “baseline distribution” is given (indicating roughly how often we expect a good policy to v...

Locality Preserving Projections
Many problems in information processing involve some form of dimensionality reduction. In this paper, we introduce Locality Preserving Projections (LPP). These are linear projecti...

The Doubly Balanced Network of Spiking Neurons: A Memory Model with High Capacity
A balanced network leads to contradictory constraints on memory models, as exemplified in previous work on accommodation of synfire chains. Here we show that these constraints can...

PAC-Bayesian Generic Chaining
There exist many different generalization error bounds for classification. Each of these bounds contains an improvement over the others for certain situations. Our goal is to com...
