In this paper, we tackle the problem of top-N context-aware recommendation for implicit feedback scenarios. We frame this challenge as a ranking problem in collaborative filterin...
This paper presents a novel framework called proto-reinforcement learning (PRL), based on a mathematical model of a proto-value function: these are task-independent basis function...
Abstract. We are interested in the relationship between learning efficiency and representation in the case of supervised neural networks for pattern classification trained by conti...
Continuous time Bayesian networks (CTBN) describe structured stochastic processes with finitely many states that evolve over continuous time. A CTBN is a directed (possibly cycli...
We consider the problem of learning a similarity function from a set of positive equivalence constraints, i.e. 'similar' point pairs. We define the similarity in informa...
