We present novel semi-supervised boosting algorithms that incrementally build linear combinations of weak classifiers through generic functional gradient descent using both labele...
This paper presents an efficient method of learning motion control for autonomous animated characters. The method uses a non parametric learning approach which identifies non line...
The stochastic approximation method is behind the solution to many important, actively-studied problems in machine learning. Despite its farreaching application, there is almost n...
This paper describes the precise speci cation, design, analysis, implementation, and measurements of an e cient algorithm for solving regular tree grammar based constraints. The p...
The l-bfgs limited-memory quasi-Newton method is the algorithm of choice for optimizing the parameters of large-scale log-linear models with L2 regularization, but it cannot be us...
