When using machine learning for in silico modeling, the goal is normally to obtain highly accurate predictive models. Often, however, models should also bring insights into intere...
We empirically evaluate the performance of various reinforcement learning methods in applications to sequential targeted marketing. In particular, we propose and evaluate a progre...

We consider the least-square linear regression problem with regularization by the 1-norm, a problem usually referred to as the Lasso. In this paper, we present a detailed asymptot...
We present a variational Bayesian framework for performing inference, density estimation and model selection in a special class of graphical models--Hidden Markov Random Fields (H...

Kernel-based learning algorithms work by embedding the data into a Euclidean space, and then searching for linear relations among the embedded data points. The embedding is perfor...
