We cast model-free reinforcement learning as the problem of maximizing the likelihood of a probabilistic mixture model via sampling, addressing both the infinite and finite horizo...
The power and popularity of kernel methods stem in part from their ability to handle diverse forms of structured inputs, including vectors, graphs and strings. Recently, several m...

Variable selection for cluster analysis is a difficult problem. The difficulty originates not only from the lack of class information but also the fact that high-dimensional data ...

We derive categories directly from robot sensor data to address the symbol grounding problem. Unlike model-based approaches where human intuitive correspondences are sought betwee...

Image retrieval critically relies on the distance function used to compare a query image to images in the database. We suggest to learn such distance functions by training binary ...
