Algorithm-Directed Exploration for Model-Based Reinforcement Learning in Factored MDPs
One of the central challenges in reinforcement learning is to balance the exploration/exploitation tradeoff while scaling up to large problems. Although model-based reinforcement ...

A permutation-augmented sampler for DP mixture models
We introduce a new inference algorithm for Dirichlet process mixture models. While Gibbs sampling and variational methods focus on local moves, the new algorithm makes more global...

Improving Prediction of Zinc Binding Sites by Modeling the Linkage Between Residues Close in Sequence
Abstract. We describe and empirically evaluate machine learning methods for the prediction of zinc binding sites from protein sequences. We start by observing that a data set consi...

An asymptotic analysis of generative, discriminative, and pseudolikelihood estimators
Statistical and computational concerns have motivated parameter estimators based on various forms of likelihood, e.g., joint, conditional, and pseudolikelihood. In this paper, we ...
