Domain adaptation is a fundamental learning problem where one wishes to use labeled data from one or several source domains to learn a hypothesis performing well on a different, y...
We consider the question of why modern machine learning methods like support vector machines outperform earlier nonparametric techniques like kNN. Our approach investigates the lo...
Given a classifier trained on relatively few training examples, active learning (AL) consists in ranking a set of unlabeled examples in terms of how informative they would be, if ...

Active engagement in the subject material has been strongly linked to deeper learning. In traditional teaching environments, even though the student might be presented with new con...
Inference is a key component in learning probabilistic models from partially observable data. When learning temporal models, each of the many inference phases requires a complete ...
