We develop a high dimensional nonparametric classification method named sparse additive machine (SAM), which can be viewed as a functional version of support vector machine (SVM)...
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs; Lafferty, McCallum, & Pereira, 2001) provide a flexible and powerful model for learning to assign labels to elements of sequences in such appl...

Polytope Faces Pursuit is a greedy algorithm that performs Basis Pursuit with similar order complexity to Orthogonal Matching Pursuit. The algorithm adds one basis vector at a tim...

Gradient descent in image distances can lead a navigating agent to the goal location, but in environments with an anisotropic distribution of landmarks, gradient home vectors devia...
We present four new reinforcement learning algorithms based on actor-critic and natural-gradient ideas, and provide their convergence proofs. Actor-critic reinforcement learning m...
