Colored Maximum Variance Unfolding
Maximum variance unfolding (MVU) is an effective heuristic for dimensionality reduction. It produces a low-dimensional representation of the data by maximizing the variance of the...

Object Recognition by Scene Alignment
Current object recognition systems can only recognize a limited number of object categories; scaling up to many categories is the next challenge. We seek to build a system to reco...

Online Linear Regression and Its Application to Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
We provide a provably efficient algorithm for learning Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with continuous state and action spaces in the online setting. Specifically, we take a mo...

Sequential Hypothesis Testing under Stochastic Deadlines
Most models of decision-making in neuroscience assume an infinite horizon, which yields an optimal solution that integrates evidence up to a fixed decision threshold; however, u...

Stability Bounds for Non-i.i.d. Processes
The notion of algorithmic stability has been used effectively in the past to derive tight generalization bounds. A key advantage of these bounds is that they are designed for spec...

Learning with Transformation Invariant Kernels
This paper considers kernels invariant to translation, rotation and dilation. We show that no non-trivial positive definite (p.d.) kernels exist which are radial and dilation inv...

Near-Maximum Entropy Models for Binary Neural Representations of Natural Images
Maximum entropy analysis of binary variables provides an elegant way for studying the role of pairwise correlations in neural populations. Unfortunately, these approaches suffer f...

Second Order Bilinear Discriminant Analysis for single trial EEG analysis
Traditional analysis methods for single-trial classification of electroencephalography (EEG) focus on two types of paradigms: phase locked methods, in which the amplitude of the ...

Automatic Generation of Social Tags for Music Recommendation
Social tags are user-generated keywords associated with some resource on the Web. In the case of music, social tags have become an important component of “Web2.0” recommender ...
