We present a new unsupervised algorithm for training structured predictors that is discriminative, convex, and avoids the use of EM. The idea is to formulate an unsupervised versi...

The use of domain knowledge in a learner can greatly improve the models it produces. However, high-quality expert knowledge is very difficult to obtain. Traditionally, researchers...
Stochastic games are a generalization of MDPs to multiple agents, and can be used as a framework for investigating multiagent learning. Hu and Wellman (1998) recently proposed a m...
Abstract. We consider the problem of learning stochastic tree languages, i.e. probability distributions over a set of trees T(F), from a sample of trees independently drawn accordi...
Modeling the cognitive processes of learners is fundamental to build educational software that are autonomous and that can provide highly tailored assistance during learning [3]. F...
