Learning Distance Functions using Equivalence Relations
We address the problem of learning distance metrics using side-information in the form of groups of "similar" points. We propose to use the RCA algorithm, which is a sim...

Active learning using mean shift optimization for robot grasping
— When children learn to grasp a new object, they often know several possible grasping points from observing a parent’s demonstration and subsequently learn better grasps by tr...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...

Near-Optimal Bayesian Active Learning with Noisy Observations
We tackle the fundamental problem of Bayesian active learning with noise, where we need to adaptively select from a number of expensive tests in order to identify an unknown hypot...
