Abstract Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. A...
We present cdec, an open source framework for decoding, aligning with, and training a number of statistical machine translation models, including word-based models, phrase-based m...

Improving the sample efficiency of reinforcement learning algorithms to scale up to larger and more realistic domains is a current research challenge in machine learning. Model-ba...
We present an information theoretic approach for learning a linear dimension reduction transform for object classification. The theoretic guidance of the approach is that the trans...
In many prediction tasks, selecting relevant features is essential for achieving good generalization performance. Most feature selection algorithms consider all features to be a p...
