Towards Finite-Sample Convergence of Direct Reinforcement Learning
Abstract. While direct, model-free reinforcement learning often performs better than model-based approaches in practice, only the latter have yet supported theoretical guarantees f...

Margin-Sparsity Trade-Off for the Set Covering Machine
We propose a new learning algorithm for the set covering machine and a tight data-compression risk bound that the learner can use for choosing the appropriate tradeoff between the ...

Active Learning for Probability Estimation Using Jensen-Shannon Divergence
Active selection of good training examples is an important approach to reducing data-collection costs in machine learning; however, most existing methods focus on maximizing classi...

Machine Learning of Plan Robustness Knowledge About Instances
Abstract. Classical planning domain representations assume all the objects from one type are exactly the same. But when solving problems in the real world systems, the execution of...

Active Learning in Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes
This paper examines the problem of finding an optimal policy for a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) when the model is not known or is only poorly specified. W...

Kernel Basis Pursuit
ABSTRACT. Estimating a non-uniformly sampled function from a set of learning points is a classical regression problem. Kernel methods have been widely used in this context, but eve...
