Abstract—We present a general scheme for learning sensorimotor tasks which allows rapid on-line learning and generalization of the learned knowledge to unfamiliar objects. The sc...
The ranking function used by search engines to order results is learned from labeled training data. Each training point is a (query, URL) pair that is labeled by a human judge who...
