Shift-Pessimistic Active Learning Using Robust Bias-Aware Prediction
Existing approaches to active learning are generally optimistic about their certainty with respect to data shift between labeled and unlabeled data. They assume that unknown datap...

Learning Partial Lexicographic Preference Trees over Combinatorial Domains
We introduce partial lexicographic preference trees (PLPtrees) as a formalism for compact representations of preferences over combinatorial domains. Our main results concern the p...

Robustness in Probabilistic Temporal Planning
Flexibility in agent scheduling increases the resilience of temporal plans in the face of new constraints. However, current metrics of flexibility ignore domain knowledge about h...

Time-Sensitive Opinion Mining for Prediction
Users commonly use Web 2.0 platforms to post their opinions and their predictions about future events (e.g., the movement of a stock). Therefore, opinion mining can be used as a t...

A Reduction of the Elastic Net to Support Vector Machines with an Application to GPU Computing
Algorithmic reductions are one of the corner stones of theoretical computer science. Surprisingly, to-date, they have only played a limited role in machine learning. In this paper...

An Association Network for Computing Semantic Relatedness
To judge how much a pair of words (or texts) are semantically related is a cognitive process. However, previous algorithms for computing semantic relatedness are largely based on ...

A Sequence Labeling Approach to Deriving Word Variants
This paper describes a learning-based approach for automatic derivation of word variant forms by the suffixation process. We employ the sequence labeling technique, which entails...
