In this paper we are interested in non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) with the Itakura-Saito (IS) divergence. Previous work has demonstrated the relevance of this cost functi...
The cross ratio has wide applications in computer vision because of its invariance under projective transformation. In active vision where the projections of quadruples of colline...
PAC-MDP algorithms approach the exploration-exploitation problem of reinforcement learning agents in an effective way which guarantees that with high probability, the algorithm pe...
