Abstract. We address the problem of learning good features for understanding video data. We introduce a model that learns latent representations of image sequences from pairs of su...
Exponential models of distributions are widely used in machine learning for classification and modelling. It is well known that they can be interpreted as maximum entropy models u...
Abstract. We consider the problem of training discriminative structured output predictors, such as conditional random fields (CRFs) and structured support vector machines (SSVMs)....

Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. There are...
We investigate methods for planning in a Markov Decision Process where the cost function is chosen by an adversary after we fix our policy. As a running example, we consider a rob...
