As machine learning (ML) systems emerge in end-user applications, learning algorithms and classifiers will need to be robust to an increasingly unpredictable operating environment...
Some of the most successful recent applications of reinforcement learning have used neural networks and the TD algorithm to learn evaluation functions. In this paper, we examine t...
Non-linear dimensionality reduction of noisy data is a challenging problem encountered in a variety of data analysis applications. Recent results in the literature show that spect...
The majority of the existing algorithms for learning decision trees are greedy--a tree is induced top-down, making locally optimal decisions at each node. In most cases, however, ...
Many difficult visual perception problems, like 3D human motion estimation, can be formulated in terms of inference using complex generative models, defined over high-dimensional ...
