Learning to Share Distributed Probabilistic Beliefs
In this paper, we present a general machine learning approach to the problem of deciding when to share probabilistic beliefs between agents for distributed monitoring. Our approac...

Cranking: Combining Rankings Using Conditional Probability Models on Permutations
A new approach to ensemble learning is introduced that takes ranking rather than classification as fundamental, leading to models on the symmetric group and its cosets. The approa...

Reinforcement Learning and Shaping: Encouraging Intended Behaviors
We explore dynamic shaping to integrate our prior beliefs of the final policy into a conventional reinforcement learning system. Shaping provides a positive or negative artificial...

Diffusion Kernels on Graphs and Other Discrete Input Spaces
The application of kernel-based learning algorithms has, so far, largely been confined to realvalued data and a few special data types, such as strings. In this paper we propose a...

Learning the Kernel Matrix with Semi-Definite Programming
Kernel-based learning algorithms work by embedding the data into a Euclidean space, and then searching for linear relations among the embedded data points. The embedding is perfor...

Interpreting and Extending Classical Agglomerative Clustering Algorithms using a Model-Based approach
We present two results which arise from a model-based approach to hierarchical agglomerative clustering. First, we show formally that the common heuristic agglomerative clustering...
