Abstract. This paper is about the evaluation of the results of clustering algorithms, and the comparison of such algorithms. We propose a new method based on the enrichment of a se...
The majority of the existing algorithms for learning decision trees are greedy--a tree is induced top-down, making locally optimal decisions at each node. In most cases, however, ...
Reinforcement learning algorithms can become unstable when combined with linear function approximation. Algorithms that minimize the mean-square Bellman error are guaranteed to co...
Most learning to rank research has assumed that the utility of different documents is independent, which results in learned ranking functions that return redundant results. The fe...

In active learning, a machine learning algorithm is given an unlabeled set of examples U, and is allowed to request labels for a relatively small subset of U to use for training. ...
