User Perceptions of a Virtual Human Over Mobile Video Chat Interactions
We believe that virtual humans, presented over video chat services, such as Skype, and delivered using smartphones, can be an effective way to deliver innovative applications where social interactions are impo...

Discriminative Interpolation for Classification of Functional Data
The modus operandi for machine learning is to represent data as feature vectors and then proceed with training algorithms that seek to optimally partition the feature space

Students, Teachers, Exams and MOOCs: Predicting and Optimizing Attainment in Web-Based Education Using a Probabilistic Graphical Model
We propose a probabilistic graphical model for predicting student attainment in web-based education. We empirically evaluate our model on a crowdsourced dataset with students and teachers; Teachers prepared le...

Decision-Theoretic Sparsification for Gaussian Process Preference Learning
We propose a decision-theoretic sparsification method for Gaussian process preference learning. This method overcomes the loss-insensitive nature of popular sparsification approaches such as the Informative Ve...

Leveraging Higher Order Dependencies between Features for Text Classification
Traditional machine learning methods only consider relationships between feature values within individual data instances while disregarding the dependencies that link features across instances. In this work, w...

Integrating Novel Class Detection with Classification for Concept-Drifting Data Streams
In a typical data stream classification task, it is assumed that the total number of classes are fixed. This assumption may not be valid in a real streaming environment, where new classes may evolve. Tradition...
