This thesis introduces a model of a random walk on a colored undirected graph. Such a graph has a single vertex set and distinct sets of edges, each of which has a color. A par...
Abstract. Recent works have shown the advantage of using Active Learning methods, such as the Query by Committee (QBC) algorithm, to various learning problems. This class of Algori...

In 1873 Francis Galton had constructed a simple mechanical device where a ball is dropped vertically through a harrow of pins that deflect the ball sideways as it falls. Galton c...
