In supervised learning, we commonly assume that training and test data are sampled from the same distribution. However, this assumption can be violated in practice and then standa...
Abstract. Bayesian reinforcement learning (RL) is aimed at making more efficient use of data samples, but typically uses significantly more computation. For discrete Markov Decis...
We begin by discussing causal independence models and generalize these models to causal interaction models. Causal interaction models are models that have independent mechanisms w...
Jensen's inequality is a powerful mathematical tool and one of the workhorses in statistical learning. Its applications therein include the EM algorithm, Bayesian estimation ...
