We empirically evaluate several state-of-theart methods for constructing ensembles of heterogeneous classifiers with stacking and show that they perform (at best) comparably to se...
An open problem in reinforcement learning is discovering hierarchical structure. HEXQ, an algorithm which automatically attempts to decompose and solve a model-free factored MDP h...
We study generalization properties of linear learning algorithms and develop a data dependent approach that is used to derive generalization bounds that depend on the margin distr...
A new approach to ensemble learning is introduced that takes ranking rather than classification as fundamental, leading to models on the symmetric group and its cosets. The approa...
This paper presents a learning theoretical analysis of correlation clustering (Bansal et al., 2002). In particular, we give bounds on the error with which correlation clustering r...
