Most of the existing active learning algorithms are based on the realizability assumption: The learner’s hypothesis class is assumed to contain a target function that perfectly c...
We consider learning in situations where the function used to classify examples may switch back and forth between a small number of different concepts during the course of learnin...
Collaborative web applications such as Facebook, Flickr and Yelp present new challenges for storing and querying large amounts of data. As users and developers are focused more on...

The Bayesian committee machine (BCM) is a novel approach to combining estimators which were trained on different data sets. Although the BCM can be applied to the combination of a...
In this paper we introduce the Generalized Bayesian Committee Machine (GBCM) for applications with large data sets. In particular, the GBCM can be used in the context of kernel ba...
