Supervised learning deals with the inference of a distribution over an output or label space $\CY$ conditioned on points in an observation space $\CX$, given a training dataset $D$...
An algorithm independent metric is introduced that measures the dispersion of a uniform random sample drawn from the top ranked percentiles of the search space. A low dispersion f...
In the past, Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) have become a standard for solving problems of sequential decision under uncertainty. The usual request in this framework is the compu...
Abstract. Learning ranking functions is crucial for solving many problems, ranging from document retrieval to building recommendation systems based on an individual user’s prefer...
Testing an SQL database system by running large sets of deterministic or stochastic SQL statements is common practice in commercial database development. However, code defects oft...
