We present an algorithm, HI-MAT (Hierarchy Induction via Models And Trajectories), that discovers MAXQ task hierarchies by applying dynamic Bayesian network models to a successful...
We propose a new algorithm for independent component and independent subspace analysis problems. This algorithm uses a contrast based on the Schweizer-Wolff measure of pairwise de...
We introduce confidence-weighted linear classifiers, which add parameter confidence information to linear classifiers. Online learners in this setting update both classifier param...
We state and analyze the first active learning algorithm which works in the presence of arbitrary forms of noise. The algorithm, A2 (for Agnostic Active), relies only upon the ass...

We introduce relational temporal difference learning as an effective approach to solving multi-agent Markov decision problems with large state spaces. Our algorithm uses temporal ...
