In this paper, we consider the problem of planning and learning in the infinite-horizon discounted-reward Markov decision problems. We propose a novel iterative direct policysearc...
One of central topics of kernel machines in the field of machine learning is a model selection, especially a selection of a kernel or its parameters. In our previous work, we dis...
This paper argues that severe class imbalance is not just an interesting technical challenge that improved learning algorithms will address, it is much more serious. To be useful, ...
Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) are a convenient and essential tool for the estimation of probability density functions. Although GMMs are used in many research domains from image ...
Many statistical translation models can be regarded as weighted logical deduction. Under this paradigm, we use weights from the expectation semiring (Eisner, 2002), to compute fir...
