Bayesian Network Score Approximation using a Metagraph Kernel
Many interesting problems, including Bayesian network structure-search, can be cast in terms of finding the optimum value of a function over the space of graphs. However, this fun...

DIFFRAC: a discriminative and flexible framework for clustering
We present a novel linear clustering framework (DIFFRAC) which relies on a linear discriminative cost function and a convex relaxation of a combinatorial optimization problem. The...

A Cost-Shaping LP for Bellman Error Minimization with Performance Guarantees
We introduce a new algorithm based on linear programming that approximates the differential value function of an average-cost Markov decision process via a linear combination of p...

UCP-Networks: A Directed Graphical Representation of Conditional Utilities
We propose a directed graphical representation of utility functions, called UCP-networks, that combines aspects of two existing preference models: generalized additive models and ...

Categorizing classes of signals by means of fuzzy gradual rules
This paper presents an approach to the approximate description of univariate real-valued functions in terms of precise or imprecise reference points and interpolation between thes...
