The Synthetic Teammate project is conducting research on synthetic agents that can be integrated into team training simulations. Key challenges in advancing this technology are designing and implementing the agents so that the agents closely match human behavior across several cognitive capacities. These capacities include situation assessment, task behavior, language comprehension, and language generation. The [...]

About 4 years ago, I speculated that decision trees qualify as a deep learning algorithm because they can make decisions which are substantially nonlinear in the input representation. Ping Li has proved this correct, empirically at UAI by showing that boosted decision trees can beat deep belief networks on versions of Mnist which are [...]

There were several papers that seemed fairly interesting at KDD this year. The ones that caught my attention are: Xin Jin, Mingyang Zhang, Nan Zhang, and Gautam Das, Versatile Publishing For Privacy Preservation. This paper provides a conservative method for safely determining which data is publishable from any complete source of information (for example, [...]

I’ve been wanting to attend the NYC ML Meetup for some time and hope to make it next week on the 25th. Rob Schapire is talking about “Playing Repeated Games”, which in my experience is far more relevant to machine learning than the title might indicate.

Alekh, John, Ofer, and I are organizing a workshop at NIPS this year on learning in parallel and distributed environments. The general interest level in parallel learning seems to be growing rapidly, so I expect quite a bit of attendance. Please join us if you are parallel-interested. And, if you are working in the [...]

The papers which interested me most at ICML and COLT 2010 were: Thomas Walsh, Kaushik Subramanian, Michael Littman and Carlos Diuk Generalizing Apprenticeship Learning across Hypothesis Classes. This paper formalizes and provides algorithms with guarantees for mixed-mode apprenticeship and traditional reinforcement learning algorithms, allowing RL algorithms that perform better than for either setting alone. István Szita [...]
