An important goal for the generative and developmental systems (GDS) community is to show that GDS approaches can compete with more mainstream approaches in machine learning (ML)....
One of many skills required to engage properly in a conversation is to know the appropiate use of the rules of engagement. In order to engage properly in a conversation, a virtual...
Automated feature discovery is a fundamental problem in machine learning. Although classical feature discovery methods do not guarantee optimal solutions in general, it has been r...
Inductive algorithms rely strongly on their representational biases, Constructive induction can mitigate representational inadequacies. This paper introduces the notion of a relat...
We present a probabilistic model-based framework for distributed learning that takes into account privacy restrictions and is applicable to scenarios where the different sites ha...
