Using Linear Programming for Bayesian Exploration in Markov Decision Processes
A key problem in reinforcement learning is finding a good balance between the need to explore the environment and the need to gain rewards by exploiting existing knowledge. Much ...

Latent Tree Models and Approximate Inference in Bayesian Networks
We propose a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian networks (BNs). The idea is to sample data from a BN, learn a latent tree model (LTM) from the data offline, and wh...

Suboptimal Behavior of Bayes and MDL in Classification Under Misspecification
We show that forms of Bayesian and MDL inference that are often applied to classification problems can be inconsistent. This means that there exists a learning problem such that fo...

Learning Switching Linear Models of Human Motion
The human figure exhibits complex and rich dynamic behavior that is both nonlinear and time-varying. Effective models of human dynamics can be learned from motion capture data usi...

Accelerating Bayesian Inference over Nonlinear Differential Equations with Gaussian Processes
Identification and comparison of nonlinear dynamical system models using noisy and sparse experimental data is a vital task in many fields, however current methods are computation...
