It is desirable to store data on data storage servers such as mail servers and file servers in encrypted form to reduce security and privacy risks. But this usually implies that ...
Markov decision processes are an effective tool in modeling decision-making in uncertain dynamic environments. Since the parameters of these models are typically estimated from da...
We propose a new model for the probabilistic estimation of continuous state variables from a sequence of observations, such as tracking the position of an object in video. This ma...
Abstract This paper investigates whether a machine can automatically learn the task of finding, within a large collection of candidate responses, the answers to questions. The lea...

We show that forms of Bayesian and MDL inference that are often applied to classification problems can be inconsistent. This means that there exists a learning problem such that fo...
