Incremental Algorithms for Hierarchical Classification
We study the problem of hierarchical classification when labels corresponding to partial and/or multiple paths in the underlying taxonomy are allowed. We introduce a new hierarchi...

Proximity Graphs for Clustering and Manifold Learning
Many machine learning algorithms for clustering or dimensionality reduction take as input a cloud of points in Euclidean space, and construct a graph with the input data points as...

Dependent Gaussian Processes
Gaussian processes are usually parameterised in terms of their covariance functions. However, this makes it difficult to deal with multiple outputs, because ensuring that the cova...

Convergence and No-Regret in Multiagent Learning
Learning in a multiagent system is a challenging problem due to two key factors. First, if other agents are simultaneously learning then the environment is no longer stationary, t...

Reducing Spike Train Variability: A Computational Theory Of Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity
Experimental studies have observed synaptic potentiation when a presynaptic neuron fires shortly before a postsynaptic neuron, and synaptic depression when the presynaptic neuron ...

Hierarchical Distributed Representations for Statistical Language Modeling
Statistical language models estimate the probability of a word occurring in a given context. The most common language models rely on a discrete enumeration of predictive contexts ...

Nonlinear Blind Source Separation by Integrating Independent Component Analysis and Slow Feature Analysis
In contrast to the equivalence of linear blind source separation and linear independent component analysis it is not possible to recover the original source signal from some unkno...
