Information elicitation for decision making
Proper scoring rules, particularly when used as the basis for a prediction market, are powerful tools for eliciting and aggregating beliefs about events such as the likely outcome...

Multi-Agent Influence Diagrams for Representing and Solving Games
The traditional representations of games using the extensive form or the strategic (normal) form obscure much of the structure that is present in real-world games. In this paper, ...

Support Vector Machines with a Reject Option
We consider the problem of binary classification where the classifier may abstain instead of classifying each observation. The Bayes decision rule for this setup, known as Chow�...

A Systematic Comparison of Training Criteria for Statistical Machine Translation
We address the problem of training the free parameters of a statistical machine translation system. We show significant improvements over a state-of-the-art minimum error rate tr...

Significance Tests and Statistical Inequalities for Segmentation by Region Growing on Graph
Bottom-up segmentation methods merge similar neighboring regions according to a decision rule and a merging order. In this paper, we propose a contribution for each of these two po...

Extensions of Expected Utility Theory and Some Limitations of Pairwise Comparisons
We contrast three decision rules that extend Expected Utility to contexts where a convex set of probabilities is used to depict uncertainty: Γ-Maximin, Maximality, and E-admissib...

Geometric Decision Rules for Instance-Based Learning Problems
In the typical nonparametric approach to classification in instance-based learning and data mining, random data (the training set of patterns) are collected and used to design a d...
