Feature selection, as a preprocessing step to machine learning, has been effective in reducing dimensionality, removing irrelevant data, increasing learning accuracy, and improvin...
We present a new online learning algorithm in the selective sampling framework, where labels must be actively queried before they are revealed. We prove bounds on the regret of ou...
We introduce a new class of Reinforcement Learning algorithms designed to operate in perceptual spaces containing images. They work by classifying the percepts using a computer vi...
This work presents a new algorithm, called Heuristically Accelerated Minimax-Q (HAMMQ), that allows the use of heuristics to speed up the wellknown Multiagent Reinforcement Learni...

It is important yet hard to identify navigational queries in Web search due to a lack of sufficient information in Web queries, which are typically very short. In this paper we st...
