In many retrieval tasks, one important goal involves retrieving a diverse set of results (e.g., documents covering a wide range of topics for a search query). First of all, this r...
We present algorithms for exactly learning unknown environments that can be described by deterministic nite automata. The learner performs a walk on the target automaton, where at...
The support vector machine (SVM) is a wellestablished and accurate supervised learning method for the classification of data in various application fields. The statistical learnin...
Many settings of unsupervised learning can be viewed as quantization problems — the minimization of the expected quantization error subject to some restrictions. This allows the ...

The main idea of a priori machine learning is to apply a machine learning method on a machine learning problem itself. We call it "a priori" because the processed data se...
