In this paper we address the problem of pool based active learning, and provide an algorithm, called UPAL, that works by minimizing the unbiased estimator of the risk of a hypothe...
This paper explored whether a consideration of the personality type of each learner would extend collaborative learning experiences under a distant learning or e-learning environm...
Learning theory and programs to date are inductively bounded: they can be described as "wind-up toys" which can only learn the kinds of things that their designers envisi...
We focus on neuro-dynamic programming methods to learn state-action value functions and outline some of the inherent problems to be faced, when performing reinforcement learning in...
Ensemble learning is a variational Bayesian method in which an intractable distribution is approximated by a lower-bound. Ensemble learning results in models with better generaliz...
