Analysis of a greedy active learning strategy
act out the core search problem of active learning schemes, to better understand the extent to which adaptive labeling can improve sample complexity. We give various upper and low...

Semigroup Kernels on Finite Sets
Complex objects can often be conveniently represented by finite sets of simpler components, such as images by sets of patches or texts by bags of words. We study the class of posi...

Trait Selection for Assessing Beef Meat Quality Using Non-linear SVM
In this paper we show that it is possible to model sensory impressions of consumers about beef meat. This is not a straightforward task; the reason is that when we are aiming to i...

Similarity and Discrimination in Classical Conditioning: A Latent Variable Account
We propose a probabilistic, generative account of configural learning phenomena in classical conditioning. Configural learning experiments probe how animals discriminate and gener...

Confidence Intervals for the Area Under the ROC Curve
In many applications, good ranking is a highly desirable performance for a classifier. The criterion commonly used to measure the ranking quality of a classification algorithm is ...

Distributed Information Regularization on Graphs
We provide a principle for semi-supervised learning based on optimizing the rate of communicating labels for unlabeled points with side information. The side information is expres...

Theories of Access Consciousness
Theories of access consciousness address how it is that some mental states but not others are available for evaluation, choice behavior, and verbal report. Farah, O'Reilly, a...

Modeling Conversational Dynamics as a Mixed-Memory Markov Process
In this work, we quantitatively investigate the ways in which a given person influences the joint turn-taking behavior in a conversation. After collecting an auditory database of ...

Hierarchical Eigensolver for Transition Matrices in Spectral Methods
We show how to build hierarchical, reduced-rank representation for large stochastic matrices and use this representation to design an efficient algorithm for computing the largest...

Using Machine Learning to Break Visual Human Interaction Proofs (HIPs)
Machine learning is often used to automatically solve human tasks. In this paper, we look for tasks where machine learning algorithms are not as good as humans with the hope of ga...
