In many prediction tasks, selecting relevant features is essential for achieving good generalization performance. Most feature selection algorithms consider all features to be a p...

We propose a novel dependent hierarchical Pitman-Yor process model for discrete data. An incremental Monte Carlo inference procedure for this model is developed. We show that infe...
We propose an importance weighting framework for actively labeling samples. This technique yields practical yet sound active learning algorithms for general loss functions. Experi...
We provide a general framework for learning precise, compact, and fast representations of the Bayesian predictive distribution for a model. This framework is based on minimizing t...
Abstract. In contrast to the standard inductive inference setting of predictive machine learning, in real world learning problems often the test instances are already available at ...
