The classical machine learning theory is built upon the assumption of independent and identically distributed random variables. In practical applications, however, this assumption is often violated, for instance, when the data exhibits temporal or spatial correlations. In the proposed program, we will contribute to the theory of learning with dependent data, the development of efficient and effective learning machines, and the application thereof to computational genome analysis.
