Given A := {a1, . . . , am} Rn and > 0, we propose and analyze two algorithms for the problem of computing a (1 + )-approximation to the radius of the minimum enclosing ball o...
E cient learning of DFA is a challenging research problem in grammatical inference. Both exact and approximate (in the PAC sense) identi ability of DFA from examples is known to b...
Abstract. We consider the problem of query containment for conjunctive queries with the safe negation property. Some necessary conditions for this problem are given. A part of the ...
The selection of weak classifiers is critical to the success of boosting techniques. Poor weak classifiers do not perform better than random guess, thus cannot help decrease the t...
We introduce a computationally feasible, "constructive" active learning method for binary classification. The learning algorithm is initially formulated for separable cl...
