Pure Exploration in Multi-armed Bandits Problems
Abstract. We consider the framework of stochastic multi-armed bandit problems and study the possibilities and limitations of strategies that explore sequentially the arms. The stra...

Canonical Horn Representations and Query Learning
Abstract. We describe an alternative construction of an existing canonical representation for definite Horn theories, the Guigues-Duquenne basis (or GD basis), which minimizes a n...

Iterative Learning from Texts and Counterexamples Using Additional Information
Abstract. A variant of iterative learning in the limit (cf. [LZ96]) is studied when a learner gets negative examples refuting conjectures containing data in excess of the target la...
