A Generalized Bradley-Terry Model: From Group Competition to Individual Skill
The Bradley-Terry model for paired comparison has been popular in many areas. We propose a generalized version in which paired individual comparisons are extended to paired team c...

Unsupervised Variational Bayesian Learning of Nonlinear Models
In this paper we present a framework for using multi-layer perceptron (MLP) networks in nonlinear generative models trained by variational Bayesian learning. The nonlinearity is h...

Schema Learning: Experience-Based Construction of Predictive Action Models
Schema learning is a way to discover probabilistic, constructivist, predictive action models (schemas) from experience. It includes methods for finding and using hidden state to m...

An Auditory Paradigm for Brain-Computer Interfaces
Motivated by the particular problems involved in communicating with "locked-in" paralysed patients, we aim to develop a braincomputer interface that uses auditory stimul...

The Entire Regularization Path for the Support Vector Machine
The support vector machine (SVM) is a widely used tool for classification. Many efficient implementations exist for fitting a two-class SVM model. The user has to supply values fo...

Semi-supervised Learning by Entropy Minimization
We consider the semi-supervised learning problem, where a decision rule is to be learned from labeled and unlabeled data. In this framework, we motivate minimum entropy regulariza...

Parallel Support Vector Machines: The Cascade SVM
We describe an algorithm for support vector machines (SVM) that can be parallelized efficiently and scales to very large problems with hundreds of thousands of training vectors. I...

Neighbourhood Components Analysis
In this paper we propose a novel method for learning a Mahalanobis distance measure to be used in the KNN classification algorithm. The algorithm directly maximizes a stochastic v...
