We describe a new tagging model where the states of a hidden Markov model (HMM) estimated by unsupervised learning are incorporated as the features in a maximum entropy model. Our...
A new decision tree learning algorithm called IDX is described. More general than existing algorithms, IDX addresses issues of decision tree quality largely overlooked in the arti...
A new procedure for learning cost-sensitive SVM classifiers is proposed. The SVM hinge loss is extended to the cost sensitive setting, and the cost-sensitive SVM is derived as the...
We consider approximate policy evaluation for finite state and action Markov decision processes (MDP) in the off-policy learning context and with the simulation-based least square...
Convex programming involves a convex set F Rn and a convex cost function c : F R. The goal of convex programming is to find a point in F which minimizes c. In online convex prog...
