A scalable trust-region algorithm with application to mixed-norm regression
We present a new algorithm for minimizing a convex loss-function subject to regularization. Our framework applies to numerous problems in machine learning and statistics; notably,...

An Inverse Power Method for Nonlinear Eigenproblems with Applications in 1-Spectral Clustering and Sparse PCA
Many problems in machine learning and statistics can be formulated as (generalized) eigenproblems. In terms of the associated optimization problem, computing linear eigenvectors a...

Value Function Approximation on Non-Linear Manifolds for Robot Motor Control
— The least squares approach works efficiently in value function approximation, given appropriate basis functions. Because of its smoothness, the Gaussian kernel is a popular an...

Automatic basis function construction for approximate dynamic programming and reinforcement learning
We address the problem of automatically constructing basis functions for linear approximation of the value function of a Markov Decision Process (MDP). Our work builds on results ...

On Gaussian Radial Basis Function Approximations: Interpretation, Extensions, and Learning Strategies
In this paper we focus on an interpretation of Gaussian radial basis functions (GRBF) which motivates extensions and learning strategies. Specifically, we show that GRBF regressio...
