When clustering a dataset, the right number k of clusters to use is often not obvious, and choosing k automatically is a hard algorithmic problem. In this paper we present an impr...
Abstract a paradigm of modern Machine Learning (ML) which uses rewards and punishments to guide the learning process. One of the central ideas of RL is learning by “direct-online...
We present a statistical method that PAC learns the class of stochastic perceptrons with arbitrary monotonic activation function and weights wi {-1, 0, +1} when the probability d...
A novel and simple combination of inductive logic programming with kernel methods is presented. The kFOIL algorithm integrates the well-known inductive logic programming system FO...

Accurate probability-based ranking of instances is crucial in many real-world data mining applications. KNN (k-nearest neighbor) [1] has been intensively studied as an effective c...
