Traditional ranking mainly focuses on one type of data source, and effective modeling still relies on a sufficiently large number of labeled or supervised examples. However, in m...

We consider the problem of extracting informative exemplars from a data stream. Examples of this problem include exemplarbased clustering and nonparametric inference such as Gauss...
In this paper a concern about the accuracy (as a function of parallelism) of a certain class of distributed learning algorithms is raised, and one proposed improvement is illustrat...

We generalize the classical algorithms of Valiant and Haussler for learning conjunctions and disjunctions of Boolean attributes to the problem of learning these functions over arb...
