Recently there has been considerable interest in topic models based on the bag-of-features representation of images. The strong independence assumption inherent in the bag-of-feat...
In this paper, we present new probabilistic models for identifying bird species from audio recordings. We introduce the independent syllable model and consider two ways of aggregat...
In sequential decision making under uncertainty, as in many other modeling endeavors, researchers observe a dynamical system and collect data measuring its behavior over time. The...
We consider a bandit problem which involves sequential sampling from two populations (arms). Each arm produces a noisy reward realization which depends on an observable random cov...
Consider the following one-player game. The vertices of a random graph on n vertices are revealed to the player one by one. In each step, also all edges connecting the newly reveal...
