Proto-value functions: developmental reinforcement learning
This paper presents a novel framework called proto-reinforcement learning (PRL), based on a mathematical model of a proto-value function: these are task-independent basis function...

Modeling word burstiness using the Dirichlet distribution
Multinomial distributions are often used to model text documents. However, they do not capture well the phenomenon that words in a document tend to appear in bursts: if a word app...

ROC confidence bands: an empirical evaluation
This paper is about constructing confidence bands around ROC curves. We first introduce to the machine learning community three band-generating methods from the medical field, and...

Naive Bayes models for probability estimation
Naive Bayes models have been widely used for clustering and classification. However, they are seldom used for general probabilistic learning and inference (i.e., for estimating an...

Unsupervised evidence integration
Many biological propositions can be supported by a variety of different types of evidence. It is often useful to collect together large numbers of such propositions, together with...

Predicting protein folds with structural repeats using a chain graph model
Protein fold recognition is a key step towards inferring the tertiary structures from amino-acid sequences. Complex folds such as those consisting of interacting structural repeat...

The cross entropy method for classification
We consider support vector machines for binary classification. As opposed to most approaches we use the number of support vectors (the "L0 norm") as a regularizing term ...

Weighted decomposition kernels
We introduce a family of kernels on discrete data structures within the general class of decomposition kernels. A weighted decomposition kernel (WDK) is computed by dividing objec...

Predicting relative performance of classifiers from samples
This paper is concerned with the problem of predicting relative performance of classification algorithms. It focusses on methods that use results on small samples and discusses th...
