Abstract--Reinforcement learning (RL) research typically develops algorithms for helping an RL agent best achieve its goals-however they came to be defined--while ignoring the rela...
We propose a new dimensionality reduction method, the elastic embedding (EE), that optimises an intuitive, nonlinear objective function of the low-dimensional coordinates of the d...
This paper introduces two new methods for label ranking based on a probabilistic model of ranking data, called the Plackett-Luce model. The idea of the first method is to use the ...
This paper formalizes Feature Selection as a Reinforcement Learning problem, leading to a provably optimal though intractable selection policy. As a second contribution, this pape...
In this paper we examine ensemble methods for regression that leverage or "boost" base regressors by iteratively calling them on modified samples. The most successful lev...
