A Probabilistic Model of Auditory Space Representation in the Barn Owl
The barn owl is a nocturnal hunter, capable of capturing prey using auditory information alone [1]. The neural basis for this localization behavior is the existence of auditory ne...

Approximate Policy Iteration with a Policy Language Bias
We study an approach to policy selection for large relational Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). We consider a variant of approximate policy iteration (API) that replaces the usual...

Fast Algorithms for Large-State-Space HMMs with Applications to Web Usage Analysis
In applying Hidden Markov Models to the analysis of massive data streams, it is often necessary to use an artificially reduced set of states; this is due in large part to the fac...

An Improved Scheme for Detection and Labelling in Johansson Displays
Consider a number of moving points, where each point is attached to a joint of the human body and projected onto an image plane. Johannson showed that humans can effortlessly det...

When Does Non-Negative Matrix Factorization Give a Correct Decomposition into Parts?
We interpret non-negative matrix factorization geometrically, as the problem of finding a simplicial cone which contains a cloud of data points and which is contained in the posi...

Error Bounds for Transductive Learning via Compression and Clustering
This paper is concerned with transductive learning. Although transduction appears to be an easier task than induction, there have not been many provably useful algorithms and boun...
