Maximum margin clustering (MMC) is a recent large margin unsupervised learning approach that has often outperformed conventional clustering methods. Computationally, it involves n...
We have developed a new Linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) training algorithm called OCAS. Its computational effort scales linearly with the sample size. In an extensive empirica...
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori (map) estimate of a discrete random field is of fundamental importance in many areas of Computer Science. In this work, we build ...
RELIEF is considered one of the most successful algorithms for assessing the quality of features. In this paper, we propose a set of new feature weighting algorithms that perform s...
Hierarchical reinforcement learning is a general framework which attempts to accelerate policy learning in large domains. On the other hand, policy gradient reinforcement learning...
