In this paper we propose differential eligibility vectors (DEV) for temporal-difference (TD) learning, a new class of eligibility vectors designed to bring out the contribution of...
We present sparse topical coding (STC), a non-probabilistic formulation of topic models for discovering latent representations of large collections of data. Unlike probabilistic t...
In this paper, we propose a novel method, called local nonnegative matrix factorization (LNMF), for learning spatially localized, parts-based subspace representation of visual pat...

In this study, we suggest a method to adapt an image retrieval system into a configurable one. Basically, original feature space of a content-based retrieval system is nonlinearly...
Statistical methods, such as independent component analysis, have been successful in learning local low-level features from natural image data. Here we extend these methods for le...
