In the Markov decision process (MDP) formalization of reinforcement learning, a single adaptive agent interacts with an environment defined by a probabilistic transition function....
Abstract. An important task in many scientific and engineering disciplines is to set up experiments with the goal of finding the best instances (substances, compositions, designs) ...
Recently, relevance vector machines (RVM) have been fashioned from a sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) framework to perform supervised learning using a weight prior that encourages s...
We describe and analyze efficient algorithms for learning a linear predictor from examples when the learner can only view a few attributes of each training example. This is the ca...
We are interested in learning programs for multiple related tasks given only a few training examples per task. Since the program for a single task is underdetermined by its data, ...
