Reinforcement learning in the presence of rare events
We consider the task of reinforcement learning in an environment in which rare significant events occur independently of the actions selected by the controlling agent. If these ev...

Unifying the error-correcting and output-code AdaBoost within the margin framework
In this paper, we present a new interpretation of AdaBoost.ECC and AdaBoost.OC. We show that AdaBoost.ECC performs stage-wise functional gradient descent on a cost function, defin...

Online Convex Programming and Generalized Infinitesimal Gradient Ascent
Convex programming involves a convex set F Rn and a convex cost function c : F R. The goal of convex programming is to find a point in F which minimizes c. In online convex prog...

Negative weights make adversaries stronger
The quantum adversary method is one of the most successful techniques for proving lower bounds on quantum query complexity. It gives optimal lower bounds for many problems, has ap...

Transfer via soft homomorphisms
The field of transfer learning aims to speed up learning across multiple related tasks by transferring knowledge between source and target tasks. Past work has shown that when th...
