Abstract. We consider the problem of learning a user's ordinal preferences on a multiattribute domain, assuming that her preferences are lexicographic. We introduce a general ...
Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
Abstract. Most of the work in machine learning assume that examples are generated at random according to some stationary probability distribution. In this work we study the problem...
Most approaches to learn classifiers for structured objects (e.g., images) use generative models in a classical Bayesian framework. However, state-of-the-art classifiers for vecto...
Virtual evidence (VE), first introduced by (Pearl, 1988), provides a convenient way of incorporating prior knowledge into Bayesian networks. This work generalizes the use of VE to...
