Abstract. Learning ranking functions is crucial for solving many problems, ranging from document retrieval to building recommendation systems based on an individual user’s prefer...
Labeling text data is quite time-consuming but essential for automatic text classification. Especially, manually creating multiple labels for each document may become impractical ...
We introduce a natural generalization of submodular set cover and exact active learning with a finite hypothesis class (query learning). We call this new problem interactive submo...
Boosting is a popular way to derive powerful learners from simpler hypothesis classes. Following previous work (Mason et al., 1999; Friedman, 2000) on general boosting frameworks,...
Which active learning methods can we expect to yield good performance in learning binary and multi-category logistic regression classifiers? Addressing this question is a natural ...
