We analyze skewing, an approach that has been empirically observed to enable greedy decision tree learners to learn "difficult" Boolean functions, such as parity, in the...

Recent investigations [12, 2, 8, 5, 6] and [11, 9] indicate the use of a probabilistic (’learning’) perspective of tasks defined on a single graph, as opposed to the traditio...
A fast-growing body of research in the AI and machine learning communities addresses learning in games, where there are multiple learners with different interests. This research a...
We consider the question of why modern machine learning methods like support vector machines outperform earlier nonparametric techniques like kNN. Our approach investigates the lo...
We state and analyze the first active learning algorithm which works in the presence of arbitrary forms of noise. The algorithm, A2 (for Agnostic Active), relies only upon the ass...
