Active learning is a generic approach to accelerate training of classifiers in order to achieve a higher accuracy with a small number of training examples. In the past, simple ac...
We consider the general, widely applicable problem of selecting from n real-valued random variables a subset of size m of those with the highest means, based on as few samples as ...
This paper presents an online support vector machine (SVM) that uses the stochastic meta-descent (SMD) algorithm to adapt its step size automatically. We formulate the online lear...

The problem of learning metrics between structured data (strings, trees or graphs) has been the subject of various recent papers. With regard to the specific case of trees, some a...
Abstract. In the multiarmed bandit problem, a gambler must decide which arm of K nonidentical slot machines to play in a sequence of trials so as to maximize his reward. This class...
