Abstract. Ensemble learning is a powerful learning approach that combines multiple classifiers to improve prediction accuracy. An important decision while using an ensemble of cla...
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 ...
Abstract. Learning to act in an unknown partially observable domain is a difficult variant of the reinforcement learning paradigm. Research in the area has focused on model-free m...
Abstract. We study discriminative joint density models, that is, generative models for the joint density p(c, x) learned by maximizing a discriminative cost function, the condition...
This paper introduces a novel method for learning a wrapper for extraction of information from web pages, based upon (k,l)-contextual tree languages. It also introduces a method to...

This paper investigates a novel model-free reinforcement learning architecture, the Natural Actor-Critic. The actor updates are based on stochastic policy gradients employing Amari...
Abstract. Learning from multi-relational domains has gained increasing attention over the past few years. Inductive logic programming (ILP) systems, which often rely on hill-climbi...
Abstract. In this paper, dimensionality reduction via matrix factorization with nonnegativity constraints is studied. Because of these constraints, it stands apart from other linea...
Finding a point which minimizes the maximal distortion with respect to a dataset is an important estimation problem that has recently received growing attentions in machine learnin...
