On the Jensen–Shannon symmetrization of distances relying on abstract means

F Nielsen - Entropy, 2019 - mdpi.com
The Jensen–Shannon divergence is a renowned bounded symmetrization of the
unbounded Kullback–Leibler divergence which measures the total Kullback–Leibler …

Model-based active exploration

P Shyam, W Jaśkowski… - … conference on machine …, 2019 - proceedings.mlr.press
Efficient exploration is an unsolved problem in Reinforcement Learning which is usually
addressed by reactively rewarding the agent for fortuitously encountering novel situations …

Robust point set registration using gaussian mixture models

B Jian, BC Vemuri - IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we present a unified framework for the rigid and nonrigid point set registration
problem in the presence of significant amounts of noise and outliers. The key idea of this …

Learning theory for distribution regression

Z Szabó, BK Sriperumbudur, B Póczos… - Journal of Machine …, 2016 - jmlr.org

establish that the Cauchy-Schwarz divergence between the probability densities of two …

Dealing with shadows: Capturing intrinsic scene appearance for image-based outdoor localisation

P Corke, R Paul, W Churchill… - 2013 IEEE/RSJ …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In outdoor environments shadows are common. These typically strong visual features cause
considerable change in the appearance of a place, and therefore confound vision-based …

Two-stage sampled learning theory on distributions

Z Szabó, A Gretton, B Póczos… - Artificial Intelligence …, 2015 - proceedings.mlr.press

a probability distribution. Although there exist a large number of similarity measures …

Lost in translation (and rotation): Rapid extrinsic calibration for 2d and 3d lidars

W Maddern, A Harrison… - 2012 IEEE International …, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper describes a novel method for determining the extrinsic calibration parameters

Learning awareness models

B Amos, L Dinh, S Cabi, T Rothörl… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
We consider the setting of an agent with a fixed body interacting with an unknown and
uncertain external world. We show that models trained to predict proprioceptive information …

Guaranteed bounds on the Kullback–Leibler divergence of univariate mixtures

F Nielsen, K Sun - IEEE Signal Processing Letters, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between two mixture models is a fundamental
primitive in many signal processing tasks. Since the KL divergence of mixtures does not …
