Density Level Detection is Classification
We show that anomaly detection can be interpreted as a binary classification problem. Using this interpretation we propose a support vector machine (SVM) for anomaly detection. We...

Maximum-Margin Matrix Factorization
We present a novel approach to collaborative prediction, using low-norm instead of low-rank factorizations. The approach is inspired by, and has strong connections to, large-margi...

Generalization Error Bounds for Collaborative Prediction with Low-Rank Matrices
We prove generalization error bounds for predicting entries in a partially observed matrix by fitting the observed entries with a low-rank matrix. In justifying the analysis appro...

Using the Equivalent Kernel to Understand Gaussian Process Regression
The equivalent kernel [1] is a way of understanding how Gaussian process regression works for large sample sizes based on a continuum limit. In this paper we show (1) how to appro...

Surface Reconstruction using Learned Shape Models
We consider the problem of geometrical surface reconstruction from one or several images using learned shape models. While humans can effortlessly retrieve 3D shape information, t...

Learning Syntactic Patterns for Automatic Hypernym Discovery
Semantic taxonomies such as WordNet provide a rich source of knowledge for natural language processing applications, but are expensive to build, maintain, and extend. Motivated by...

Learning Efficient Auditory Codes Using Spikes Predicts Cochlear Filters
The representation of acoustic signals at the cochlear nerve must serve a wide range of auditory tasks that require exquisite sensitivity in both time and frequency. Lewicki (2002...

Intrinsically Motivated Reinforcement Learning
Psychologists call behavior intrinsically motivated when it is engaged in for its own sake rather than as a step toward solving a specific problem of clear practical value. But wh...

Dynamic Bayesian Networks for Brain-Computer Interfaces
We describe an approach to building brain-computer interfaces (BCI) based on graphical models for probabilistic inference and learning. We show how a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN...

Algebraic Set Kernels with Application to Inference Over Local Image Representations
This paper presents a general family of algebraic positive definite similarity functions over spaces of matrices with varying column rank. The columns can represent local regions ...
