In many design tasks it is difficult to explicitly define an objective function. This paper uses machine learning to derive an objective in a feature space based on selected examp...
Many of the recently proposed algorithms for learning feature-based ranking functions are based on the pairwise preference framework, in which instead of taking documents in isola...

This paper describes a statistically motivated framework for performing real-time dialogue state updates and policy learning in a spoken dialogue system. The framework is based on...
In multi-instance learning, the training examples are bags composed of instances without labels, and the task is to predict the labels of unseen bags through analyzing the training...
Learning Bayesian networks from data has been studied extensively in the evolutionary algorithm communities [Larranaga96, Wong99]. We have previously explored extending some of the...
