When given a small sample, we show that classification with SVM can be considerably enhanced by using a kernel function learned from the training data prior to discrimination. Thi...
Hierarchical reinforcement learning (RL) is a general framework which studies how to exploit the structure of actions and tasks to accelerate policy learning in large domains. Pri...
In this paper, we investigate the use of parallelization in reinforcement learning (RL), with the goal of learning optimal policies for single-agent RL problems more quickly by us...
Web extraction systems attempt to use the immense amount of unlabeled text in the Web in order to create large lists of entities and relations. Unlike traditional IE methods, the ...
Rich representations in reinforcement learning have been studied for the purpose of enabling generalization and making learning feasible in large state spaces. We introduce Object...
