On discovery and learning of models with predictive representations of state for agents with continuous actions and observations
Models of agent-environment interaction that use predictive state representations (PSRs) have mainly focused on the case of discrete observations and actions. The theory of discre...

Component-wise parameter smoothing for learning mixture models
In this paper, we propose a novel component-wise smoothing algorithm that constructs a hierarchy (or family) of smoothened log-likelihood surfaces. Our approach first smoothens th...

Learning Instance-Specific Predictive Models
This paper introduces a Bayesian algorithm for constructing predictive models from data that are optimized to predict a target variable well for a particular instance. This algori...
