This paper investigates how the splitting criteria and pruning methods of decision tree learning algorithms are influenced by misclassification costs or changes to the class distr...
In this paper, we describe two di erent learning tasks for relational structures. When learning a classi er for structures, the relational structures in the training sets are clas...
Traditional Markov network structure learning algorithms perform a search for globally useful features. However, these algorithms are often slow and prone to finding local optima d...
Decision tree induction techniques attempt to find small trees that fit a training set of data. This preference for smaller trees, which provides a learning bias, is often justifie...

There has been a lot of recent work on Bayesian methods for reinforcement learning exhibiting near-optimal online performance. The main obstacle facing such methods is that in most...
