Hidden Markov models are a powerful technique to model and classify temporal sequences, such as in speech and gesture recognition. However, defining these models is still an art: ...
We propose the framework of mutual information kernels for learning covariance kernels, as used in Support Vector machines and Gaussian process classifiers, from unlabeled task da...
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...
Two ideas taken from Bayesian optimization and classifier systems are presented for personnel scheduling based on choosing a suitable scheduling rule from a set for each person’s...
In this paper we present the Relational Bayesian Classifier (RBC), a modification of the Simple Bayesian Classifier (SBC) for relational data. There exist several Bayesian classif...
