Information-theoretic metric learning
In this paper, we present an information-theoretic approach to learning a Mahalanobis distance function. We formulate the problem as that of minimizing the differential relative e...

Query chains: learning to rank from implicit feedback
This paper presents a novel approach for using clickthrough data to learn ranked retrieval functions for web search results. We observe that users searching the web often perform ...

Pairwise Preference Learning and Ranking
We consider supervised learning of a ranking function, which is a mapping from instances to total orders over a set of labels (options). The training information consists of exampl...

Reinforcement Learning with the Use of Costly Features
In many practical reinforcement learning problems, the state space is too large to permit an exact representation of the value function, much less the time required to compute it. ...

Beyond local optimality: An improved approach to hybrid model learning
Abstract-- Local convergence is a limitation of many optimization approaches for multimodal functions. For hybrid model learning, this can mean a compromise in accuracy. We develop...
