Metric and Kernel Learning Using a Linear Transformation
Metric and kernel learning arise in several machine learning applications. However, most existing metric learning algorithms are limited to learning metrics over low-dimensional d...

General Bias/Variance Decomposition with Target Independent Variance of Error Functions Derived from the Exponential Family of D
An important theoretical tool in machine learning is the bias/variance decomposition of the generalization error. It was introduced for the mean square error in [3]. The bias/vari...

Risk Sensitive Reinforcement Learning
In this paper, we consider Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with error states. Error states are those states entering which is undesirable or dangerous. We define the risk with re...
