In this paper, we present an approach for learning interest profiles implicitly from positive user observations only. This approach eliminates the need to prompt users for ratings...
We consider an online learning setting where at each time step the decision maker has to choose how to distribute the future loss between k alternatives, and then observes the los...
We present a Bayesian search algorithm for learning the structure of latent variable models of continuous variables. We stress the importance of applying search operators designed...
How to assign appropriate weights to terms is one of the critical issues in information retrieval. Many term weighting schemes are unsupervised. They are either based on the empir...
This paper describes the Mediating Agent, an animated pedagogical agent inserted in a computational system for distance learning, which has the goal of motivating the student to le...
