This paper is concerned with the question of how to online combine an ensemble of active learners so as to expedite the learning progress during a pool-based active learning sessi...
We introduce a method for learning Bayesian networks that handles the discretization of continuous variables as an integral part of the learning process. The main ingredient in th...
In this paper we present a method for learning classspecific
features for recognition. Recently a greedy layerwise
procedure was proposed to initialize weights of deep
belief ne...

We transform the outputs of each hidden neuron in a multi-layer perceptron network to have zero output and zero slope on average, and use separate shortcut connections to model th...
In multi-task learning our goal is to design regression or classification models for each of the tasks and appropriately share information between tasks. A Dirichlet process (DP) ...
