Autonomous shaping: knowledge transfer in reinforcement learning
We introduce the use of learned shaping rewards in reinforcement learning tasks, where an agent uses prior experience on a sequence of tasks to learn a portable predictor that est...

Transfer Learning in Decision Trees
— Most research in machine learning focuses on scenarios in which a learner faces a single learning task, independently of other learning tasks or prior knowledge. In reality, ho...

Knowledge Transfer for Feature Generation in Document Classification
One important problem in machine learning is how to extract knowledge from prior experience, then transfer and apply this knowledge in new learning tasks. To address this problem, ...

Monte Carlo Theory as an Explanation of Bagging and Boosting
In this paper we propose the framework of Monte Carlo algorithms as a useful one to analyze ensemble learning. In particular, this framework allows one to guess when bagging will ...

Boosting and Rocchio Applied to Text Filtering
We discuss two learning algorithms for text filtering: modified Rocchio and a boosting algorithm called AdaBoost. We show how both algorithms can be adapted to maximize any gene...
