This thesis provides a description of the cardiac rhythm as a latent chain of heart sound arrivals which occur over time, where each arrival generates a fixed window of observable data that can be described with arbitrary feature functions. This description of the process produces tractable...

Each patient with Type-1 diabetes must decide how much insulin to inject before each meal to maintain an acceptable level of blood glucose. The actual injection dose is based on a formula that takes current blood glucose level and the meal size into consideration. While following this insulin...

Monte Carlo Sampling and Regret Minimization for Equilibrium Computation and Decision-Making in Large Extensive Form Games
DownloadSpring 2013
In this thesis, we investigate the problem of decision-making in large two-player zero-sum games using Monte Carlo sampling and regret minimization methods. We demonstrate four major contributions. The first is Monte Carlo Counterfactual Regret Minimization (MCCFR): a generic family of...

Ideal agent behaviour in multiagent environments depends on the behaviour of other agents. Consequently, acting to maximize utility is challenging since an agent must gather and exploit knowledge about how the other (potentially adaptive) agents behave. In this thesis, we investigate how an...

Optimal Mechanisms for Machine Learning: A Game-Theoretic Approach to Designing Machine Learning Competitions
DownloadSpring 2013
In this thesis we consider problems where a self-interested entity, called the principal, has private access to some data that she wishes to use to solve a prediction problem by outsourcing the development of the predictor to some other parties. Assuming the principal, who needs the machine...

Polarity classification in text is the problem of automatically detecting the general opinion of textual data. Analyzing the general opinion toward a topic of interest is important for different audiences, such as companies, politicians or even regular users. On the other hand, the availability of...

Understanding biochemical reactions inside cells of individual organisms is a key factor for improving our biological knowledge. Signaling pathways provide a road map for a wide range of these chemical reactions that convert one signal or stimulus into another. In general, each signaling pathway...

This thesis addresses the challenge of prognosis, in terms of survival prediction, for patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme brain tumors. Glioblastoma is the most malignant brain tumor, which has a median survival time of no more than a year. Accurate assessment of prognostic factors is critical...

Regret Minimization in Games and the Development of Champion Multiplayer Computer Poker-Playing Agents
DownloadSpring 2014
Recently, poker has emerged as a popular domain for investigating decision problems under conditions of uncertainty. Unlike traditional games such as checkers and chess, poker exhibits imperfect information, varying utilities, and stochastic events. Because of these complications, decisions at...
