Toward Optimal Active Learning through Sampling Estimation of Error Reduction
This paper presents an active learning method that directly optimizes expected future error. This is in contrast to many other popular techniques that instead aim to reduce versio...

Off-Policy Temporal Difference Learning with Function Approximation
We introduce the first algorithm for off-policy temporal-difference learning that is stable with linear function approximation. Off-policy learning is of interest because it forms...

An Improved Predictive Accuracy Bound for Averaging Classifiers
We present an improved bound on the difference between training and test errors for voting classifiers. This improved averaging bound provides a theoretical justification for popu...
