In sequential prediction tasks, one repeatedly tries to predict the next element in a sequence. A classical way to solve these problems is to fit an order-n Markov model to the da...
We show how to use unlabeled data and a deep belief net (DBN) to learn a good covariance kernel for a Gaussian process. We first learn a deep generative model of the unlabeled da...
We introduce a new Bayesian model for hierarchical clustering based on a prior over trees called Kingman’s coalescent. We develop novel greedy and sequential Monte Carlo inferen...
We answer the following question of R. L. Graham: What is the discrepancy of the lexicographically-least binary de Bruijn sequence? Here, "discrepancy" refers to the max...
: We discuss the applications of modular self-reconfigurable robots to navigation. We show that greedy algorithms are complete for motion planning over a class of modular reconfigu...
