The target of machine learning is a predictive model that performs well on unseen data. Often, such a model has multiple intended uses, related to different points in the tradeoff ...

BAYDA is a software package for flexible data analysis in predictive data mining tasks. The mathematical model underlying the program is based on a simple Bayesian network, the Na...
Abstract. Feature selection in reinforcement learning (RL), i.e. choosing basis functions such that useful approximations of the unkown value function can be obtained, is one of th...
