Efficient MAP approximation for dense energy functions
We present an efficient method for maximizing energy functions with first and second order potentials, suitable for MAP labeling estimation problems that arise in undirected graph...

Using query-specific variance estimates to combine Bayesian classifiers
Many of today's best classification results are obtained by combining the responses of a set of base classifiers to produce an answer for the query. This paper explores a nov...

Simpler knowledge-based support vector machines
If appropriately used, prior knowledge can significantly improve the predictive accuracy of learning algorithms or reduce the amount of training data needed. In this paper we intr...

Local distance preservation in the GP-LVM through back constraints
The Gaussian process latent variable model (GP-LVM) is a generative approach to nonlinear low dimensional embedding, that provides a smooth probabilistic mapping from latent to da...

Autonomous shaping: knowledge transfer in reinforcement learning
We introduce the use of learned shaping rewards in reinforcement learning tasks, where an agent uses prior experience on a sequence of tasks to learn a portable predictor that est...

Learning low-rank kernel matrices
Kernel learning plays an important role in many machine learning tasks. However, algorithms for learning a kernel matrix often scale poorly, with running times that are cubic in t...

Multiclass boosting with repartitioning
A multiclass classification problem can be reduced to a collection of binary problems with the aid of a coding matrix. The quality of the final solution, which is an ensemble of b...

Fast particle smoothing: if I had a million particles
We propose efficient particle smoothing methods for generalized state-spaces models. Particle smoothing is an expensive O(N2 ) algorithm, where N is the number of particles. We ov...

Pareto optimal linear classification
We consider the problem of choosing a linear classifier that minimizes misclassification probabilities in two-class classification, which is a bi-criterion problem, involving a tr...

Optimal kernel selection in Kernel Fisher discriminant analysis
In Kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFDA), we carry out Fisher linear discriminant analysis in a high dimensional feature space defined implicitly by a kernel. The performance...
