This paper shows how to formally characterize language learning in a finite parameter space as a Markov structure, hnportant new language learning results follow directly: explici...
An agent population can be evolved in a complex environment to perform various tasks and optimize its job performance using Learning Classifier System (LCS) technology. Due to the...
We consider the problem of ranking refinement, i.e., to improve the accuracy of an existing ranking function with a small set of labeled instances. We are, particularly, intereste...
Continuous time Bayesian networks (CTBN) describe structured stochastic processes with finitely many states that evolve over continuous time. A CTBN is a directed (possibly cycli...
We present a unified framework for reasoning about worst-case regret bounds for learning algorithms. This framework is based on the theory of duality of convex functions. It brin...
