Segmental Hidden Markov Models with Random Effects for Waveform Modeling
This paper proposes a general probabilistic framework for shape-based modeling and classification of waveform data. A segmental hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to characterize w...

Point-Based Value Iteration for Continuous POMDPs
We propose a novel approach to optimize Partially Observable Markov Decisions Processes (POMDPs) defined on continuous spaces. To date, most algorithms for model-based POMDPs are ...

Large Scale Transductive SVMs
We show how the concave-convex procedure can be applied to transductive SVMs, which traditionally require solving a combinatorial search problem. This provides for the first time ...

An Efficient Implementation of an Active Set Method for SVMs
We propose an active set algorithm to solve the convex quadratic programming (QP) problem which is the core of the support vector machine (SVM) training. The underlying method is ...

A Hierarchy of Support Vector Machines for Pattern Detection
We introduce a computational design for pattern detection based on a tree-structured network of support vector machines (SVMs). An SVM is associated with each cell in a recursive ...

Second Order Cone Programming Approaches for Handling Missing and Uncertain Data
We propose a novel second order cone programming formulation for designing robust classifiers which can handle uncertainty in observations. Similar formulations are also derived f...

Pattern Recognition for Conditionally Independent Data
In this work we consider the task of relaxing the i.i.d. assumption in pattern recognition (or classification), aiming to make existing learning algorithms applicable to a wider r...

Collaborative Multiagent Reinforcement Learning by Payoff Propagation
In this article we describe a set of scalable techniques for learning the behavior of a group of agents in a collaborative multiagent setting. As a basis we use the framework of c...

Linear Programs for Hypotheses Selection in Probabilistic Inference Models
We consider an optimization problem in probabilistic inference: Given n hypotheses Hj, m possible observations Ok, their conditional probabilities pk j, and a particular Ok, selec...

Learning Image Components for Object Recognition
In order to perform object recognition it is necessary to learn representations of the underlying components of images. Such components correspond to objects, object-parts, or fea...
