Haussler, Kearns, Seung and Tishby introduced the notion of a shell decomposition of the union bound as a means of understanding certain empirical phenomena in learning curves suc...
Multiple kernel learning (MKL) uses a weighted combination of kernels where the weight of each kernel is optimized during training. However, MKL assigns the same weight to a kerne...
The stochastic approximation method is behind the solution to many important, actively-studied problems in machine learning. Despite its farreaching application, there is almost n...
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 present a new approach, called local discriminant embedding (LDE), to manifold learning and pattern classification. In our framework, the neighbor and class relations of data a...
