In sequential decision making under uncertainty, as in many other modeling endeavors, researchers observe a dynamical system and collect data measuring its behavior over time. The...
Bandit convex optimization is a special case of online convex optimization with partial information. In this setting, a player attempts to minimize a sequence of adversarially gen...
The choice of the kernel function which determines the mapping between the input space and the feature space is of crucial importance to kernel methods. The past few years have se...
Unsupervised learning methods often involve summarizing the data using a small number of parameters. In certain domains, only a small subset of the available data is relevant for ...
We present an efficient method for maximizing energy functions with first and second order potentials, suitable for MAP labeling estimation problems that arise in undirected graph...
