Many applications require learning classifiers or regressors that are both accurate and cheap to evaluate. Prediction cost can be drastically reduced if the learned predictor is constructed such that on the majority of the inputs, it uses cheap features and fast evaluations. The main challenge is to…
Cell assemblies, originally proposed by Donald Hebb (1949), are subsets of neurons firing in a temporally coordinated way that gives rise to repeated motifs supposed to underly neural representations and information processing. Although Hebb's original proposal dates back many decades, the detection…
We propose a new way to train a structured output prediction model. More specifically, we train nonlinear data terms in a Gaussian Conditional Random Field (GCRF) by a generalized version of gradient boosting. The approach is evaluated on three challenging regression benchmarks: vessel detection, s…
