With the goal to generate more scalable algorithms with higher efficiency and fewer open parameters, reinforcement learning (RL) has recently moved towards combining classical tec...
Abstract. Most of the work in machine learning assume that examples are generated at random according to some stationary probability distribution. In this work we study the problem...
We discuss information retrieval methods that aim at serving a diverse stream of user queries such as those submitted to commercial search engines. We propose methods that emphasi...

Learning theory has largely focused on two main learning scenarios. The first is the classical statistical setting where instances are drawn i.i.d. from a fixed distribution and...

Consider yourself faced with learning about a new system. You have lots of measurements available, but you really don't know which measurements affect the values of others. H...
