Large margin methods for structured and interdependent output variables
- JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH
, 2005
"... Learning general functional dependencies between arbitrary input and output spaces is one of the key challenges in computational intelligence. While recent progress in machine learning has mainly focused on designing flexible and powerful input representations, this paper addresses the complementary ..."

Graphical models, exponential families, and variational inference
, 2008
"... The formalism of probabilistic graphical models provides a unifying framework for capturing complex dependencies among random variables, and building large-scale multivariate statistical models. Graphical models have become a focus of research in many statistical, computational and mathematical fiel ..."

Policy gradient methods for reinforcement learning with function approximation.
- In NIPS,
, 1999
"... Abstract Function approximation is essential to reinforcement learning, but the standard approach of approximating a value function and determining a policy from it has so far proven theoretically intractable. In this paper we explore an alternative approach in which the policy is explicitly repres ..."

approximating a value function and using that to compute a deterministic policy, we approximate a stochastic policy directly using an independent function approximator with its own parameters. For example, the policy might be represented by a neural network whose input is a representation of the state, whose
An algorithm for pronominal anaphora resolution
- Computational Linguistics
, 1994
"... This paper presents an algorithm for identifying the noun phrase antecedents of third person pronouns and lexical anaphors (reflexives and reciprocals). The algorithm applies to the syntactic representations generated by McCord's Slot Grammar parser, and relies on salience measures derived from ..."

from syntactic structure and a simple dynamic model of attentional state. Like the parser, the algorithm is implemented in Prolog. The authors have tested it extensively on computer manual texts, and conducted a blind test on manual text containing 360 pronoun occurrences. The algorithm successfully
Marginalized kernels between labeled graphs
- Proceedings of the Twentieth International Conference on Machine Learning
, 2003
"... A new kernel function between two labeled graphs is presented. Feature vectors are defined as the counts of label paths produced by random walks on graphs. The kernel computation finally boils down to obtaining the stationary state of a discrete-time linear system, thus is efficiently performed by s ..."

by solving simultaneous linear equations. Our kernel is based on an infinite dimensional feature space, so it is fundamentally different from other string or tree kernels based on dynamic programming. We will present promising empirical results in classification of chemical compounds. 1 1.
Sharing the Cost of Multicast Transmissions
, 2001
"... We investigate cost-sharing algorithms for multicast transmission. Economic considerations point to two distinct mechanisms, marginal cost and Shapley value, as the two solutions most appropriate in this context. We prove that the former has a natural algorithm that uses only two messages per link o ..."

uses a novel algebraic technique for bounding from below the number of messages exchanged in a distributed computation; this technique may prove useful in other contexts as well.
Contextual Classification with Functional Max-Margin Markov Networks
"... We address the problem of label assignment in computer vision: given a novel 3-D or 2-D scene, we wish to assign a unique label to every site (voxel, pixel, superpixel, etc.). To this end, the Markov Random Field framework has proven to be a model of choice as it uses contextual information to yield ..."

Computing Marginals Using Local Computation
, 1996
"... This paper describes an abstract framework called valuation network for computation of marginals using local computation. In valuation networks, we represent knowledge using functions called valuations. Making inferences involves using two operators called marginalisation and combination. Marginalis ..."

Learning when Training Data are Costly: The Effect of Class Distribution on Tree Induction
, 2002
"... For large, real-world inductive learning problems, the number of training examples often must be limited due to the costs associated with procuring, preparing, and storing the data and/or the computational costs associated with learning from the data. One question of practical importance is: if n ..."
