We present a mixture model whose components are Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs). This possibility has not been considered before because computing the partition function of a...
The structure of a Bayesian network (BN) encodes variable independence. Learning the structure of a BN, however, is typically of high computational complexity. In this paper, we e...
Kernel classifiers based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) have recently achieved state-of-the art results on several popular datasets like Caltech or Pascal. This was possible by...
"Reinforcement learning is learning what to do how to map situations to actions so as to maximize a numerical reward signal. The learner is not told which actions to take, as ...
Semi-supervised learning aims at taking advantage of unlabeled data to improve the efficiency of supervised learning procedures. For discriminative models however, this is a chall...
