In this work a cooperative, bid-based, model for problem decomposition is proposed with application to discrete action domains such as classification. This represents a significan...
Abstract. This paper studies a risk minimization approach to estimate a transformation model from noisy observations. It is argued that transformation models are a natural candidat...
