Interactive learning of mappings from visual percepts to actions
We introduce flexible algorithms that can automatically learn mappings from images to actions by interacting with their environment. They work by introducing an image classifier i...

Error bounds for correlation clustering
This paper presents a learning theoretical analysis of correlation clustering (Bansal et al., 2002). In particular, we give bounds on the error with which correlation clustering r...
