We describe a novel framework for the design and analysis of online learning algorithms based on the notion of duality in constrained optimization. We cast a sub-family of universa...
In this paper, we evaluate a number of machine learning techniques for the task of ranking answers to why-questions. We use TF-IDF together with a set of 36 linguistically motivate...

While Boltzmann Machines have been successful at unsupervised learning and density modeling of images and speech data, they can be very sensitive to noise in the data. In this pap...

It has been shown empirically that the XCS classifier system solves typical classification problems in a machine learning competitive way. However, until now, no learning time es...

To provide personalization and adaptivity in technology enhanced learning systems, the needs of learners have to be known by the system first. Detecting these needs is a challengin...
