Active selection of good training examples is an important approach to reducing data-collection costs in machine learning; however, most existing methods focus on maximizing classi...

Although very widely used in unsupervised data mining, most clustering methods are affected by the instability of the resulting clusters w.r.t. the initialization of the algorithm ...
Abstract. We study the problem of learning from positive and unlabeled examples. Although several techniques exist for dealing with this problem, they all assume that positive exam...
We study cost-sensitive learning of decision trees that incorporate both test costs and misclassification costs. In particular, we first propose a lazy decision tree learning that ...
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP) provide a standard framework for sequential decision making in stochastic environments. In this setting, an agent takes actio...
