The choice of the kernel function which determines the mapping between the input space and the feature space is of crucial importance to kernel methods. The past few years have se...
This paper presents a general method to derive tight rates of convergence for numerical approximations in optimal control when we consider variable resolution grids. We study the ...
The field of transfer learning aims to speed up learning across multiple related tasks by transferring knowledge between source and target tasks. Past work has shown that when th...
We study a generative model in which hidden causes combine competitively to produce observations. Multiple active causes combine to determine the value of an observed variable thr...
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...
