Ultraconservative Online Algorithms for Multiclass Problems
In this paper we study a paradigm to generalize online classification algorithms for binary classification problems to multiclass problems. The particular hypotheses we investig...

Learning Rates for Q-Learning
In this paper we derive convergence rates for Q-learning. We show an interesting relationship between the convergence rate and the learning rate used in Q-learning. For a polynomi...

On Using Extended Statistical Queries to Avoid Membership Queries
The Kushilevitz-Mansour (KM) algorithm is an algorithm that finds all the “large” Fourier coefficients of a Boolean function. It is the main tool for learning decision trees ...

Learning Monotone DNF from a Teacher That Almost Does Not Answer Membership Queries
We present results concerning the learning of Monotone DNF (MDNF) from Incomplete Membership Queries and Equivalence Queries. Our main result is a new algorithm that allows effici...

Agnostic Boosting
We prove strong noise-tolerance properties of a potential-based boosting algorithm, similar to MadaBoost (Domingo and Watanabe, 2000) and SmoothBoost (Servedio, 2003). Our analysi...

Limitations of Learning via Embeddings in Euclidean Half-Spaces
The notion of embedding a class of dichotomies in a class of linear half spaces is central to the support vector machines paradigm. We examine the question of determining the mini...

Rademacher and Gaussian Complexities: Risk Bounds and Structural Results
We investigate the use of certain data-dependent estimates of the complexity of a function class, called Rademacher and Gaussian complexities. In a decision theoretic setting, we ...

Tracking a Small Set of Experts by Mixing Past Posteriors
In this paper, we examine on-line learning problems in which the target concept is allowed to change over time. In each trial a master algorithm receives predictions from a large ...

An Exploration of Learning to Link with Wikipedia: Features, Methods and Training Collection
We describe our participation in the Link-the-Wiki track at INEX 2009. We apply machine learning methods to the anchor-to-best-entry-point task and explore the impact of the follow...

Machine learning approach to report prioritization with an application to travel time dissemination
This paper looks at the problem of data prioritization, commonly found in mobile ad-hoc networks. The proposed general solution uses a machine learning approach in order to learn ...
