Markov networks are a common class of graphical models used in machine learning. Such models use an undirected graph to capture dependency information among random variables in a ...
Recently, relaxation approaches have been successfully used for MAP inference on NLP problems. In this work we show how to extend the relaxation approach to marginal inference use...
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...
We consider the problem of decision-making with side information and unbounded loss functions. Inspired by probably approximately correct learning model, we use a slightly differe...
We motivate and analyse a new Tree Search algorithm, based on recent advances in the use of Gaussian Processes for bandit problems. We assume that the function to maximise on the ...
