For many supervised learning problems, we possess prior knowledge about which features yield similar information about the target variable. In predicting the topic of a document, ...

Many approaches to active learning involve periodically training one classifier and choosing data points with the lowest confidence. An alternative approach is to periodically cho...
—We describe parallel methods for solving large-scale, high-dimensional, sparse least-squares problems that arise in machine learning applications such as document classificatio...
—Semi-supervised learning concerns the problem of learning in the presence of labeled and unlabeled data. Several boosting algorithms have been extended to semi-supervised learni...
We study the problem of learning regular tree languages from text. We show that the framework of function distinguishability as introduced by the author in Theoretical Computer Sc...
