Sparse Dictionary-based Representation and Recognition of Action Attributes
We present an approach for dictionary learning of action attributes via information maximization. We unify the class distribution and appearance information into an objective func...

Algorithmic Luckiness
Classical statistical learning theory studies the generalisation performance of machine learning algorithms rather indirectly. One of the main detours is that algorithms are studi...

Indirectly Encoding Neural Plasticity as a Pattern of Local Rules
Biological brains can adapt and learn from past experience. In neuroevolution, i.e. evolving artificial neural networks (ANNs), one way that agents controlled by ANNs can evolve t...

Using Local Trajectory Optimizers to Speed Up Global Optimization in Dynamic Programming
Dynamic programming provides a methodology to develop planners and controllers for nonlinear systems. However, general dynamic programming is computationally intractable. We have ...

Random classification noise defeats all convex potential boosters
A broad class of boosting algorithms can be interpreted as performing coordinate-wise gradient descent to minimize some potential function of the margins of a data set. This class...
