Learning state-action basis functions for hierarchical MDPs
This paper introduces a new approach to actionvalue function approximation by learning basis functions from a spectral decomposition of the state-action manifold. This paper exten...

Nonlinear independent component analysis with minimal nonlinear distortion
Nonlinear ICA may not result in nonlinear blind source separation, since solutions to nonlinear ICA are highly non-unique. In practice, the nonlinearity in the data generation pro...

Tracking value function dynamics to improve reinforcement learning with piecewise linear function approximation
Reinforcement learning algorithms can become unstable when combined with linear function approximation. Algorithms that minimize the mean-square Bellman error are guaranteed to co...

Modeling changing dependency structure in multivariate time series
We show how to apply the efficient Bayesian changepoint detection techniques of Fearnhead in the multivariate setting. We model the joint density of vector-valued observations usi...

Parameter learning for relational Bayesian networks
We present a method for parameter learning in relational Bayesian networks (RBNs). Our approach consists of compiling the RBN model into a computation graph for the likelihood fun...

Learning distance function by coding similarity
We consider the problem of learning a similarity function from a set of positive equivalence constraints, i.e. 'similar' point pairs. We define the similarity in informa...

Exploiting sparse Markov and covariance structure in multiresolution models
We consider Gaussian multiresolution (MR) models in which coarser, hidden variables serve to capture statistical dependencies among the finest scale variables. Tree-structured MR ...

K-means in space: a radiation sensitivity evaluation
Spacecraft increasingly employ onboard data analysis to inform further data collection and prioritization decisions. However, many spacecraft operate in high-radiation environment...

Prototype vector machine for large scale semi-supervised learning
Practical data mining rarely falls exactly into the supervised learning scenario. Rather, the growing amount of unlabeled data poses a big challenge to large-scale semi-supervised...
