We present an optimization algorithm that combines active learning and locally-weighted regression to find extreme points of noisy and complex functions. We apply our algorithm to...
Data Selection has emerged as a common issue in language technologies. We define Data Selection as the choosing of a subset of training data that is most effective for a given tas...

Active learning (AL) promises to reduce the cost of annotating labeled datasets for trainable human language technologies. Contrary to expectations, when creating labeled training...
We investigate the following data mining problem from Computational Chemistry: From a large data set of compounds, find those that bind to a target molecule in as few iterations o...
Solving stochastic optimization problems under partial observability, where one needs to adaptively make decisions with uncertain outcomes, is a fundamental but notoriously diffic...
