This paper addresses the problem of constructing good action selection policies for agents acting in partially observable environments, a class of problems generally known as Part...
A standard method for approximating averages in probabilistic models is to construct a Markov chain in the product space of the random variables with the desired equilibrium distr...
We introduce a framework, which we call Divide-by-2 (DB2), for extending support vector machines (SVM) to multi-class problems. DB2 offers an alternative to the standard one-again...
Learning general functional dependencies is one of the main goals in machine learning. Recent progress in kernel-based methods has focused on designing flexible and powerful input...

Many NLP tasks rely on accurately estimating word dependency probabilities P(w1|w2), where the words w1 and w2 have a particular relationship (such as verb-object). Because of the...

Markov networks are extensively used to model complex sequential, spatial, and relational interactions in fields as diverse as image processing, natural language analysis, and bio...

The multiple-instance learning (MIL) model has been very successful in application areas such as drug discovery and content-based imageretrieval. Recently, a generalization of thi...

In sequence modeling, we often wish to represent complex interaction between labels, such as when performing multiple, cascaded labeling tasks on the same sequence, or when longra...
