Learning agents, whether natural or artificial, must update their internal parameters in order to improve their behavior over time. In reinforcement learning, this plasticity is ...
We present a novel structure learning method, Max Margin AND/OR Graph (MM-AOG), for parsing the human body into parts and recovering their poses. Our method represents the human b...

Many popular optimization algorithms, like the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA), use heuristic-based "controllers" that modulate the behavior of the optimizer during ...
Abstract. In this paper we explore a topic which is at the intersection of two areas of Machine Learning: namely Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Inductive Logic Programming (ILP...
