Covariance Kernels from Bayesian Generative Models
We propose the framework of mutual information kernels for learning covariance kernels, as used in Support Vector machines and Gaussian process classifiers, from unlabeled task da...

Eye movements and the maturation of cortical orientation selectivity
Neural activity appears to be a crucial component for shaping the receptive fields of cortical simple cells into adjacent, oriented subregions alternately receiving ON- and OFF-ce...

Global Coordination of Local Linear Models
High dimensional data that lies on or near a low dimensional manifold can be described by a collection of local linear models. Such a description, however, does not provide a glob...

The Fidelity of Local Ordinal Encoding
A key question in neuroscience is how to encode sensory stimuli such as images and sounds. Motivated by studies of response properties of neurons in the early cortical areas, we p...

Constructing Distributed Representations Using Additive Clustering
If the promise of computational modeling is to be fully realized in higherlevel cognitive domains such as language processing, principled methods must be developed to construct th...

The Intelligent surfer: Probabilistic Combination of Link and Content Information in PageRank
The PageRank algorithm, used in the Google search engine, greatly improves the results of Web search by taking into account the link structure of the Web. PageRank assigns to a pa...

On the Convergence of Leveraging
We give an unified convergence analysis of ensemble learning methods including e.g. AdaBoost, Logistic Regression and the Least-SquareBoost algorithm for regression. These methods...

Infinite Mixtures of Gaussian Process Experts
We present an extension to the Mixture of Experts (ME) model, where the individual experts are Gaussian Process (GP) regression models. Using an input-dependent adaptation of the ...
