Learning Globally-Consistent Local Distance Functions for Shape-Based Image Retrieval and Classification
We address the problem of visual category recognition by learning an image-to-image distance function that attempts to satisfy the following property: the distance between images ...

A Selective Sampling Strategy for Label Ranking
Abstract. We propose a novel active learning strategy based on the compression framework of [9] for label ranking functions which, given an input instance, predict a total order ov...

Sample-Efficient Evolutionary Function Approximation for Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning problems are commonly tackled with temporal difference methods, which attempt to estimate the agent's optimal value function. In most real-world proble...

Learning Threshold Functions with Small Weights Using Membership Queries
We study the learnability of Threshold functions with bounded weights using membership queries only. We show that the class Ct of Threshold functions with positive integer weights...

Rates of Convergence of Performance Gradient Estimates Using Function Approximation and Bias in Reinforcement Learning
We address two open theoretical questions in Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning. The first concerns the efficacy of using function approximation to represent the state action ...
