We present an optimization algorithm that combines active learning and locally-weighted regression to find extreme points of noisy and complex functions. We apply our algorithm to...
This paper presents a new approach to hierarchical reinforcement learning based on the MAXQ decomposition of the value function. The MAXQ decomposition has both a procedural seman...
Face hallucination is to reconstruct a high-resolution face image from a low-resolution one based on a set of high- and low-resolution training image pairs. This paper proposes an ...
L1 regularization is effective for feature selection, but the resulting optimization is challenging due to the non-differentiability of the 1-norm. In this paper we compare state...
Mihalcea [1] discusses self-training and co-training in the context of word sense disambiguation and shows that parameter optimization on individual words was important to obtain g...
